John,

I've used OnStage before, and it works great once you grasp its quirky
interface:

When you insert your media files, you have to specify the Development and
Runtime paths--like so: (using your example)

Put in the "Dev extension" field: D:\Main (or wherever your Director project
files are located)
Put in the "Runtime Path" field: \video\video.mpg (this should be relative
to your Director executable at runtime)

If you press the �play� button, the video should play--if it doesn�t, your
path is wrong. (it may take some trial and error to get it right)

HTH,
Tom
