revVideoGrabber: stop preview doesn't hide video window

[Richard Miller]

Ben,

We limit grabs to 3 minutes now, but I suspect we could go longer. It 
really depends on the processor and camera involved (and probably the 
audio input source as well)... tremendous variability. Only testing will 
tell.

We sell a customized "kiosk" driven entirely by Rev. This kiosk now uses 
a dual-core Pentium and a machine-vision camera capturing at 60 frames 
per second, all under Windows 7. We had problems when using a slower 
Atom processor, but the new processor allows the videograb functions to 
work much more smoothly. For example, even during video capture, the 
live Preview screen still shows fluid motion. Before, it would be jerky 
and only show perhaps 1/4 of the actual frames.

We're not seeing any syncing issues with the audio using this 
configuration. No crashing. No problems.

Richard
