To be honest, I don't really see the importance of seeing the video I am capturing. I capture one of three ways. Only one of them would necessitate seeing the video.
1. HDVSplit which provides the ability to capture the entire tape using scene detect. No need to see the video until after it gets chopped into little pieces. Then I review them one at a time and delete the ones I know I will never use.
2. Run through the tape and make notes as to what timecodes I want to log. Then I capture the log. No need to see, since I have already seen.
3. Capture on the fly. OK, so it would be handy to see the video, but really this is the least efficient way to capture so I seldom do it this way. And if I need to, the camera has a huge LCD screen so I can use that instead of the PC monitor. I mean really, what difference does it make if it is only once in a blue moon?
Should Adobe add the ability? Sure. Should they add scene detect? Sure. Will I suffer if they don't? No.
