Edward,

The filename isn't bad. I used \C:Users\Lewisn\Downloads\introducing-
creo_5mb.wmv as a second example of the problem.
Maybe I misled you by using a different example.
The text "Movie  file not found: C:\Python32\Lib\site-packages\leo-
editor\leo\core\"
is the common first section of the error message. Viewrendered simply
doesn't find the file.

Regards
Lewis
