That was checked.  That just may be it.  I'll leave it unchecked and see
if it happens again.  I have a few videos to check later.  I'm pretty
sure one of three or four videos is the broken one.  As I play them,
I'll check that to see if it shows that random character thing or the
file name. 

Thanks much.  I had, have, no idea what it was/is but when I put my
mouse over it, it sounds like the setting I was looking for.  It
mentions replacing the name.
