Unable to SAVE movie to Mini DV tape

Guest

Movie created as DV AVI file NTSC 720x480 saves as disk file and allows
editing in a project using it as a clip. Saving to Canon DV camcorder Mini DV
tape does not work. It sets up everything, including putting the camcorder in
REC mode. The tape advances in REC mode but no movie is output to DV camera
or preview monitor.

Captures work OK using same camera and IEEE1394 card. The problem exists on
both a Win XP Dell laptop as well as a Win 2K desktop. Both have plenty of
memory and disk space and pagefiles set to 3 X RAM (was 2X RAM) but neither
setting here makes any difference. Other NLE programs in these boxes
experience exactly the same problem; ie UNA to save to a DV tape. Although
recorder is controlled properly video/audio is not output topreview monitor
or camcorder tape.

On a third PC with more NLE's installed a similar problem exists, except
that one of them actually does work properly to save to tape; the others
Pinnacle 9 & 10.5 Plus, Movie Maker 2 , AVID FreeDV and Ulead VS 7.0 don't
but Ulead VS 10 does. This leads me to believe their is a common OS file or
library that is corrupt of changed that apparently needs repair . Any
Suggestions ????

Disks are dual 250 GB drives and dual 80's in the second desktop so space
and memory are not a problem.

It always did work previously, and am not aware of any particular install or
change that might have affected this, which is why I am looking for some
filenames to check or replace due to corruption on power failures etc.

Any help would be appreciated; thanks

running Win XP Pro SP 2 and all updates current
