Could not create movie reference

[Paul Dupuis]

I've seen this error due to non-ASCII characters in the file path or name

The pre-LC7 Answer file/Ask file commands can not handle non-ASCII
characters the OS can support in filenames or paths.

There may be other reasons - very large media files for example.
