revInitializeVideoGrabber

[Thomas J McGrath III]

Ken,

I use the sample stack Video_input in the samples folder. BUT the video 
preview window in iChatAV cannot be open.

Also, don't close stack with out closing video grabbing or window stays 
open.
Another bug is that the video grab window opens in upper left corner of 
screen sometimes and not in rect provided. I hit the close and then hit 
open again and the white box goes into the rect. hit preview and there 
it is... way cool.....

iSight does work with BTV and Oculus with video controls but no 
controls in iChatAV, and does not work at all in iMovie. Also REV 
accesses all video controls for iSight.

Now I want to access AOL chat rooms.

Tom
