Any time a Video Cue is loaded the screen will be captured, so you  
can avoid this as long as there is at least one Video Cue on deck.   
Also, the most recent Video Cue to be fired is the one you'll see,  
although others will still play until they come to an end or are  
stopped.

So if you just have a number of movies you want to play one after the  
other, you can just drop them in all in a row.  When one ends, hit GO  
and the next will start playing, without releasing the screen.  Or if  
you need to stop or pause one half way through to go to the next,  
just make sure the stop or pause cue auto-continues into the next  
video cue, so it will be sure to be pre-loaded, thus keeping the  
display captured.
