' run video capturing
capturer.Run()
' IMPORTANT: if you want to check for some code if need to stop the recording then make sure you are
' using Thread.Sleep(1) inside the checking loop, so you have the loop like
' Do
' Thread.Sleep(1)
' While StopButtonNotClicked
' wait for 15 seconds (10000 msec)
WScript.Sleep(10000)
' stop capturing
capturer.Stop()
' destroy Capturer object so the video will be saved into the disk
