Probably a Vidcap Bug

This seems to be a vidcap bug

When, in vidcap, I switch from the current tape to another tape, I get a message:

"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive e:"
Cancel/Retry/Fail

All of the buttons just cause the message to repeat. There is no way to gracefully exit vidcap except by killing it.

As it turns out, E: is a CDROM drive. Putting a CD in the drive solves the problem.

I have no idea why vidcap needs me to have a disc in there. I've never stored any media there so none of the files in vidcap should have paths pointing there.

This sounds like an issue that comes up every now and then with Quick Time. As of yet I have not heard of it with Vegas but what happens is that when you load Quick TIme it will load the mov file and instead of playing the file you get a pop up saying almost the exact same thing you mention. It will complain about no disk being in the drive - the drive being whatever your DVD/CD drive is. No matter what you click on the file won't play. Sometimes after clicking on ignore about 6 - 10 times the file will play, other times you need to just ctrl - alt - del the player.

I could never find a real answer to this issue - it did go away however, I didn't really change anything but I have not had the probelm in several months. (knock wood) It only happened with Quick Time player and it was random.
