I have upgraded to Vegas Video 2.0b... both the "main" 
program and the Video Capture program.
Now when I try to print a rendered file to DV tape, or even 
preview a file through my DV camera, the Video Capture 
program fails with this error message:
"An error occurred while printing a file to the device.
The COM object failed to initialize."
What's going on? More important... how can I fix it?!?
Many thanks in advance to whoever knows the answer...

ps: just to make sure the problem isn't in the rendering 
process, I captured a new clip from my DV camera into the 
computer, then tried to put the same file back to tape, 
without having made any changes at all to the file. VidCap 
failed with the message quoted above.
