How is your CD set up? Did you update and resave all .dir's on the mac, or just use
the same .dir's and create a new projector
stub? If you did the latter, then I would try resaving all .dir's as mac versions.

Subject: RE: <lingo-l> QuickTime path names on Mac
Damm, I thought it worked.. But nooo....
Can i somehow set the path to the movie files, the path it is using right
now is the one from when I linket to the movie in authoring mode.
So now it is looking for a path called something like
D:Intern HD:Documents:test:movies:moviename.mov
and it should be set to look for simply
the moviepath:movies:moviename.mov
Or simply default to look at this position, like it does on the PC.
My director file is in the test folder, why doesn't it work???
Argh, I am never gonna do cross-platform CD's again.

There is no need to use "the moviePath" anymore; it is outdated. Use the
character "@" where you would normally use "the
moviePath". It references the current movie path, but it also removes the
need to change the path delimiter for each OS. (I.E. "/"
for Win and ":" for Mac). The "@" allows you to use "/", "\" or ":" for any
platform and it uses it correctly.

You have to explicitly tell director where the quicktime movies are using
'the moviepath' as a starting point. Keeep in mind that the way paths are
shown on the mac are different than on the pc (ie on the mac it's
'HardDrive:film:mymovie.mov' whereas on the pc it would be
'D:\film\mymovie.mov'.
What I ususually do is something akin to
tChar = the last char of the moviepath
tPath = the moviepath & "film" & tChar &" whateveryourmovienameis.mov"
