Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

In Ubuntu 10.10 the OpenOffice "Insert -> Movie and Sound" option no longer creates an embedded movie that will play during that slide of the presentation. This worked under the 10.04 version.

I have presentations created in 10.04 which still work for playback in 10.10

I can copy and paste those previous embedded videos into 10.10 open office and they work.

When attempting to create a new embed from scratch in the 10.10 version of open office the video always displays the sound icon, never the ? or an actual screen cap of the video.
