Recording button greyed out when acquiring from behavior and miniscope cam

[jonnew]

To reproduce:

• Plug in Miniscope
• Plug in Behavior webcam
• Connect to both, both are functional and streaming
• Notice that Record button is not clickable.
• Check and uncheck Trigger Ext several times. Record button becomes ungreyed. Try to click it and software crashes with unhanded exception.

After looking through source code, I figured out that I need to select a ROI on the behavior cam before recording.

• This is very strange since it seems like I will end up with a different window size every time
• The corner case leading to program crash outlined above is still true.

Forcing and ROI to be selected before recording was a design choice specifically for our lab. We run mice usually in rectangular environments or linear tracks and from day to day often the behavior camera or environment/track get shift a bit (likely from people not being careful about keeping the recordings consistent). So a simple solution was to require an ROI be selected right around the edges of the environment/track resulting in more consistent behavior videos from day to day.

I can see why this would not be idea in many cases and will put it on my todo list.
