[Zope] VideoCapture module fails under Zope on Win32

[Stefan H. Holek]

Not actually knowing anything about VideoCapture, but this could be some 
privilege issue. Do you e.g. have to be Administrator to be able to open 
the device? Zope will very likely run under an unprivileged account. Try to 
not run Zope as a service but from a DOS box, logged in as Administrator or 
yourself (assuming your account has the required privileges). Does this 
make a difference?

HTH,
Stefan
