Problem description: 

Videos inserted into a .odt document won't play in Mac OS X.  The video shows as a grey oblong with a question mark in it.  When played using the media player Audio plays.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert video into .odt document in Writer using the insert "Movie and Sound..." option in the insert menu (.mov or .avi) or any that are compatible it doesn't matter.
2. Video shows as grey box with question mark inside.
3. play video in media player.  Audio plays but video remains blank.  The box is white with no video playing.

Current behavior: Video does not play, video box remains blank and audio plays.

Expected behavior: Videos play normally.

When videos play normally should there be a grey box with a question mark in the middle after insertion?

This works in LibreOffice 3.3.2.  In 3.3.2 you still get the Question Mark when the video is first inserted.

              
Operating System: Mac OS X
Version: 3.6.5.2 rc

Note this also happens to Impress.  I think this happens to all components including Spreadsheet.
