Shut Down Previzion Before Starting BRec

Previzion and BRec access the same hardware resources of the video capture card. Starting one program while the other program is still running can blue screen the system.

For example, when exiting Previzion, wait a moment after the window has disappeared and make sure that the sfServer window is no longer active.
