Funny, I ran into the same probably yesterday. I got further though. I 
change the code above to directly take the FallbackVideo path. Then I 
ran into another problem. There are no pictures to select. This seems 
due to some problem with the open-box filter. It doesn't allow jpg or 
png, at least, so I couldn't find any substitute images that were 
loadable.

I think we really only need a fake mickey-mouse picture in most cases. 
Can somebody add a fallback for the fallback like mickey-mouse?
