Distributing movies on a disk

Whenever a movie plays from a disk, it accesses all external linked files the same way that it did in the authoring environment. All linked media—bitmaps, sounds, digital videos, and so on—must be in the same relative location as they were when you created the movie. To make sure you don't forget any linked media when you distribute a movie on a disk, place linked files in the same folder as the projector or in a folder inside the Projector folder.

If your movie includes Xtras, you must include the Xtras in the projector. If a movie distributed on a disk connects to the Internet in any way, be sure to click the Add Network button in the Movie Xtras dialog box.
