1. Obtain version information, initialize, and enumerate devices: MWGetVersion, MWCaptureInitInstance, MWRefreshDevice, MWGetChannelCount
2. Filter supported devices based on device and interface information: MWGetChannelInfoByIndex
3. Open the device:
   1. Open the device specified by command parameters: MWOpenChannel
   2. When no device is specified in command parameters, open the first available channel by default: MWGetDevicePath, MWOpenChannelByPath
4. Start video capture: MWStartVideoCapture
5. Create event: MWCreateEvent
6. Register timer: MWRegisterTimer
7. Set time schedule: MWScheduleTimer
8. Wait for event: MWTryWaitEvent, MWWaitEvent
9. Capture video data: MWCaptureVideoFrameToVirtualAddressEx
10. Retrieve current capture status: MWGetVideoCaptureStatus
11. Repeat steps 7, 8, 9, and 10 until the last frame
12. Save file
13. Deregister timer: MWUnregisterTimer
