Subject: -19- Why does Capture tell me to "Please Stand By", instead
of capturing video?

Capture presents the "Please Stand By" message in two circumstances:
1) It is processing video that you just captured.
2) Your system has video support, but Capture for some
reason cannot use it.
Symptom 1) is normal operation for the program, and is nothing
you should worry about.
Symptom 2) can happen for several reasons. Check the following:
- Make sure to close down all other applications which use
video.
- If you are using the IndyCam, make sure it is plugged in
to the back of the machine. Perhaps the connector may have
worked itself loose.
- If you still get the "Please Stand By" message, reboot the
system. It might be possible that the system video services
had become wedged for some reason; a reboot fixes this
problem.
- Make sure that you have the signal source set correctly,
and that video shows up onscreen from the Video Control
Panel. See above question, "I cannot get the right
video to show in the Capture tool!" for details on how
to do this.
