alright. i did what you said for some folders and cutting and pasting them to the desktop allowed me access to them. but i'm pretty sure i know exactly where all the videos are now and they're in the folder where the error reads "refers to a location that is unavailable".

cutting and pasting that folder somewhere does not allow me access. i can't get a security tab on that folder. please tell me i can do something about it!
