Videograbber--does it work?

[Thierry Arbellot]

the "video_input.rev" sample stack is provided with RR (in the "Sample 
Stacks" folder).
You can learn from this stack how to use the video grabber.

The documentation is wrong, the correct syntax of the command is :
revInitializeVideoGrabber the short name of this stack, 
"QT","100,100,200,200"

Regards.
