Thanks Klaus, that's what I needed.

Perhaps this will be my first contribution to the code: add a sentence to the 
dictionary entries for video grabber libary to point at this.


Cheers!

What's the most straight forward way to display the feed from a webcam in LC 9

check -> cameracontrol in the dictionary, I think this is the crossplatform 
successor of the (Mac Only) videograbber.
