We test with this exact setup all the time internally.

2 things to check:

1)Have you rendered your files using the "NTSC DV" template?

2) Are you using the "Microsoft Camera and VCR" (msdv.sys)driver? The
video capture tool will tell you that if the camera is connected. If
you are not using this driver, check out the DV driver support page:

A re-install of Sonic Foundry Video Capture fixed this problem.

(Error message: "Com failure" )

Print-to-tape works fine now-
