It isn't necessarily a bug. Revolution uses the old method of opening
files with the QuickTime API which uses the FSSpec. This has file name
as well as path name length limitations (255 for the full path). As of
QT 6.4 (I think) QuickTime added new calls that open movies that can
have unicode names, etc. Eventually Rev needs to add support for using
the newer calls when QuickTime supports it.
