You really need a webserver on your PC to emulate what will happen on
the web. Of course, this is a web issue or your question would be
off-topic.

Well, the link isn't true. You're simply clicking on a file and moving
it. It has nothing to do with your HTML.

I'm completely out of my league here. I don't use a PC. But would
"view_files/movie1.mpg" be inappropriate for your PC. Doesn't Windows
use the "\" delimiter between files on your own PC?
