Changing Inserted Video Paths

[Guest]

How Do I change Inserted Video Objects file Paths when the data has been
moved to a different path without having to recreate the entire Presention.
Is there a global setting to tell powerpoint what the player will be and
where to go find the new located video files.

Please Let me know ASAP.

The trick is to put the movie files in the same folder as your .ppt
powerpoint file BEFORE you insert them.
then you can move the folders/rename the folders and all is OK

see
Quick Fix for Movies and Other Sound Types

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation
