Relative paths for external audio and video files?

[Robin Banerjee]

Dear Jerry,

I was just about to post this exact question myself, so I would be grateful
if you could let me know of any solution you find on this! I've used Import
as Control myself, but you're right - it's not ideal for larger files and in
any case it doesn't seem to transport across platforms, which is what I want
to do (I'm developing on a mac but want to burn on cd to use on windows).
