Compressed Zip Folder Error
Hi
I have downloaded a course I'm doing which has come as a compressed zip folder with MP4 files in it. Many of the MP4 files open to play in WMP with no problem. But other MP4s come up with an error message "The destination path is too long. Rename the compressed zip folder and try again." However, when I 'right click' there is no option to rename.
The name of the MP4 files that have this error message are no longer (and in fact sometimes shorter) than other MP4 files that open perfectly OK. I have found a way around this by copying the MP4 into the 'video' folder and they then play fine. But I am puzzled as to why I am getting this message for some and not others.
Just to add to the confusion, I downloaded KB4462923 yesterday and when I played the first MP4 this morning I noticed a prompt when I opened WMP to select 'standard settings'. I don't recall having the difficulty open the MP4s before the downloaded KB update. The KB update had been sat there unchecked for a week or so. Yesterday is appeared with a tick, so I assumed problems had been ironed out and it was OK to install.
There is a way around this for me, but I would like to know why this is happening for some MP4s and not others and whether the KB update has caused this?
Any insight?
Many thanks.
