   // output file

      // set the source video device, select using your device name here 
      if (capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"] == null) 
         throw new Exception("No USB video device available"); 
 
      capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"].Selected = true;

      if (capturectrl.AudioDevices["USB"] == null) 
         throw new Exception("No USB audio device available"); 
 
      capturectrl.AudioDevices["USB"].Selected = true; 
 
      // set the video compressor to H264 
      capturectrl.VideoCompressors.H264.Selected = true; 
 
      // set the audio compressor to AC3 
      capturectrl.AudioCompressors.AC3.Selected = true; 
 
      // set the target files 
      capturectrl.TargetFile = outFile; 
 
      // check whether we can capture video 
      if (capturectrl.IsModeAvailable(CaptureMode.VideoAndAudio))

      } 
   } 
   catch (Exception) 
   { 
      _result = false; 
   } 
 
   // we'll loop on the state and pump messages for this example. 
   // but you should not need to if running from a Windows Forms application. 
   while (capturectrl.State == CaptureState.Running)
