           // capturer.CurrentVideoCodecName = "<span data-scayt_word="Bytescout" data-scaytid="30">Bytescout</span> <span data-scayt_word="Lossless" data-scaytid="33">Lossless</span>";             
 
           capturer.Run(); // run screen video capturing 
 
           Thread.Sleep(15000); // wait for 15 seconds
 
           capturer.Stop(); // stop video capturing
 
           Process.Start("EntireScreenCaptured.wmv");
       }
   }
