Thanks, Sarah.
However, I don't believe one can "put" a filename into a player object
and still have it be a player, rather than a videoclip object.
I've resolved the issue for now by combining "line 1 of the volumes"
with specialfolderpath("apps") under OSX. Hopefully, this produces a
reliable "long path" to a video.

The above line does create the correct pathway to this folder in
Applications. However, I then need to set the filename of a player to a
video inside that folder.
put mainfolder & "/test1.mov" into fname
set the filename of player 1 to ("file:///" & fname)
I need to use the "file:///" syntax because this is being done through
revweb in a browser (which seems to require this syntax... unlike a regular
player in a standalone). Using the above, the filename in the player will
NOT be correct, however, because the player requires the users HD name to be
right after "file:///".
In other words:
This doesn't work for the filename of the player:
file:///Applications/videos/test1.mov
This works:
file:///Macintosh HD/Applications/videos/test1.mov
I'm not sure how to correct this. None of the OSX specialfolderpath returned
values contain the HD portion of the pathway.
I found with images, that setting the filename did not work. I had to use:
put URL ("binfile:" & tFileName) into image "Pic"
Maybe something similar would work for your videos.
Cheers,
Sarah
