FYI: tested with Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: f4d3954fc6106b3ae0ee16ab0fcde15d8cb945e3
Comment 2 Jorendc 2013-11-22 18:31:42 UTC 
Tested using Mac OSX 10.9 with LibreOffice Version: 4.1.3.2
Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a I can't reproduce an error message, but I can reproduce just a big question mark as display-image. If I hit play, only sounds play. No video.

Kind regards,
Joren

New findings show small files sizes can be added. Not sure where the limit is, but 900MB do cause the issue. But who adds 1 ½ hour movies to Impress presentations. The error message could be a little more informative.

Adding small files works fine. Sound does play, image is not shown. But that's another bug to be told another day.

WORKSFORME.
