[tex-live] issue with flashvideo

Hi there,

using TeXLive 2010, I have a problem with the following document:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{flashmovie}
\begin{document}
test

\flashmovie[width=10cm,height=10cm,engine=flv-player,auto=1]{saturn5.avi}
\end{document}

saturn5.avi, no matter which permissions it has, cannot be found by 
pdftex (and the file is located on the same directory as the tex source 
file). The error reads:

<<saturn5.avi>>
! pdfTeX error (ext5): cannot open file for embedding.
\flashmovieembedfileinternal ...edFile } file {#1}
                                                    \immediate \pdfobj { 
<< /...
l.6 ...10cm,engine=flv-player,auto=1]{saturn5.avi}

Could anyone check whether this works on TeXLive 2010?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
