when a bad name is used in the constructor to Capture, the error comes back as:

quicktime.std.StdQTException[QTJava:6.1.0g1],-50=paramErr,QT.vers:6528000
at quicktime.std.StdQTException.checkError(StdQTException.java:38)

which is a problem because of how the example for capture is written. should probably catch
this error and notify the user that the name might be wrong.

closing this bug, because we'll be replacing the current video library with
another sometime later this summer. as such, i won't be doing any more bug
fixes on the current video library. in the meantime, we recommend using
gsvideo, opencv, or one of the other video libraries that are available.
