In your Director application folder, copy the Xtra extensions required to play your movie into
the Xtras folder you just created.
You must also include external movies, external casts, and linked media with your projector. If
the external files are in the folder that contains the projector, the projector can automatically
link to the files.

Processing movies with Update Movies
You can use the Update Movies command on the Xtras menu to do the following:
•
Update movies and casts from older version of Director to the latest file format.
•
Compress movies for faster downloading from the Internet.
•
Remove redundant and fragmented data in movie and cast files. The Save and Compact and
Save As commands do this as well.
•
Prevent users from opening movie and cast files.
•
Batch-process movie and cast files in large projects.
When beginning a project, use Update Movies to convert Director 7, 8, and 8.5 files to the latest
file format.
At the end of a project, use Update Movies to compress all your movies and casts at once.
To update and compress movies and casts:
1
Select Xtras > Update Movies.
The Update Movies dialog box appears.
2
Select one of the Action options:
Update
converts movies from Director 5 or later versions to the latest file format. As it updates
movies, Director consolidates and removes fragmented data, just as when you use Save As. (To
update movies from older versions, you must first convert them to the Director 5 file format.)
Protect
removes all the data required to edit the movie, but it does not compress the movies
further. It adds the DXR extension to movies, and CXT to casts. Protect also flags the movie so
it can’t be opened in the authoring environment.
Convert to Shockwave Movie(s)
rewrites movies and casts in the compressed Shockwave file
format and adds the DCR extension to movies and CCT to casts. This options also prevents
users from opening the movie or cast and making changes. Once a movie is compressed, there
is no way to it to recover an editable file, so be sure to keep the original movie.

Select one of the Original Files options:
Back Up into Folder
specifies that the original files go in a selected folder. Click Browse to
select the folder for the original files. To avoid overwriting old backups, you should select a
new folder each time you run Update Movies.
Delete
specifies that the newly updated files overwrite the original files. Be very careful when
using this option. Once a file is protected or compressed, you cannot open it again in Director.
