It is correct that QT movies are ALWAYS external files. This, however, is
not your problem�

Be sure your quicktime is in the same path relative to your projector file
when you make it on your hard drive. A good way to do this is to keep all of
you qt movies in the same folder as your original director files either
directly in the same folder or in a sub folder called "movies" or what ever
you would like to call it. When you make your projector save it to the same
folder as your original director file. Then when you move the projector
(along with the folder of movies) to your burning folder for the cd the
quick time will be in the same place relative to the original path. This is
why you are getting the open window dialogue box (assuming you included the
qt movie in the first place). the  projector no longer sees the qt movie in
the same place.

i hope it helps,
