Irregular video playing

[dave lomax]

I am attempting to insert mpeg video files from a dv
source using the insert movie command on the main tool bar.

If I select the file from its original location it plays
fine, but if I move the file to a central presentation
resource location the file refuses to insert. The file
properties are identical in both cases and changing the
file name seems to make no difference. Why is this?

Any Ideas, many thanks

Dave

How long is the pathname?

Pathname is a network share drive and from memory looks
something like

w:\staff\davelomax\mydocuments\ITFolder\Presentation\aqa001
resources\video\*.mpeg

is this to long?
