That is one of the downsides of the Journal implementation.  Use Journal
to copy to Documents.  Much easier than using USB drive.

This may be an important discovery, thanks.  It is as if the additional
work of reading the necessary programs from disk is sufficient to make
the example work.

The example starts the capture, then starts pygame, then after one
second it stops the capture.

Try increasing the delay from one second to five.  See if that fixes it.

The example is probably not capturing the image in a correct fashion.
Perhaps the example should be removed.
