Ugh.  Line 49 calls a method in a pyd file.  Tough to know why the filter 
graph creation failed without seeing it.

It may well be the case that the VideoCapture maintainers would have a 
pretty good idea of what might cause this error.  That could push us in the 
right direction.

It might also be possible to get a better traceback.  Put line 49 inside a 
try...except and kick back your own exception.  Check out this recipe for 
some hints how you might get some richer information on what's gone wrong:

I haven't tried any of that in a Zope object, though it works like a charm 
in other Python stuff.

That's about what I can think of at the moment.
