Abstract
The Check Multimedia Linking functionality provides a mechanism for users to verify that all media links to media elements in the current multimedia presentation are still valid. A media link is valid if the media element (media file or external data as in CD data) can be located. If a media element cannot be located, the check media links feature of the present invention allows users to remedy invalid media links by either locating one or more specific media elements, or by changing (adding) a path to the current search path that the media manager uses to locate media elements. Additionally, the user has the option of disabling a media element if the link cannot be found. A disabled media element will not show up in the check links list in the next verification search.
