Instead, first rename it to change its extension to soemthing like ".bak" instead of ".mpg". Then, once the video is recognized in its new location and plays correctly, you can delete the ".bak" file.
What I was able to do was to shut down sage, rename my old video folder to something new, share it.. then open up sage added the "New" directory via it's UNC share name.. all details now show the files with the //unc not the literal file path.. no renaming of files or backing up was necessary.. for me anyhow! Saved me a lot of time.. all that copying and renaming would have taken hours!

Thanks!
