Thanks, that answers both my questions. I do surf and do other things while capturing and have been doing it for the past year, never had a single dropped frame. As long as thats what I am trying to avoid then I won't be concerned about it. Encoding wise, I understand that the less your computer is doing the faster the encoding will go. Thanks for the answer about the deck. I think premiere pro allows you to minimize it and multi-task while capturing, i know vegas and premiere elements does.

I have been using premiere elements to capture lately because sony vegas creates a new m2t file for every time you push the standby button on the camera during recording. I rather have one big file for the tape. Unless someone here knows how to kill that option in vegas ;)
