I created a presentation file in Ubuntu 10.04 and then in Ubuntu 10.10, using the same video file. Looking in the .odp file at the content.xml there are differences in the relative path used when referring to the video:

10.04 - content.xml sample line:
<draw:plugin xlink:href="../../../../home/ubuntu/Desktop/Dramatic_Look.flv" xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad" draw:mime-type="application/vnd.sun.star.media">

10.10 - content.xml sample line:
<draw:plugin xlink:href="media/Dramatic_Look.flv" xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad" draw:mime-type="application/vnd.sun.star.media">

This is strange be cause the file was on the Desktop in both cases and the path to the file was "/home/ubuntu/Desktop" in both cases. As it can be seen in the 10.04 sample the path to the file is correct. In 10.10 the path is "media/Dramatic_Look.flv" which is wrong. I will attach the content.xml of both files.
