However, I'd prefer to avoid that (replicating folders on someone's system) for a standard Impress presentation. I think the better solution would be to have the ability to 'unlink' sound & video files in the same manner that you can do when you insert an image in the Impress presentation[1]; Insert|Picture|From File & then Edit|Links|Break Links if the 'Links' option has been ticked when you inserted the picture. The latter breaks the link and embeds the picture in the presentation.
