Solution 2:

Just an idea but does your server block underscore prefixed folders?

Can you access the videos directly if you type the full URL (i.e. http://abc.mysite.com/_videos/abc12296_Animation.mp4)?

Also some servers may not serve those specific file types unless you specify you want to and tell the server how to handle it. Can you provide more information on the host you are using?

Edit Since I cannot post comments on the main question. What aletzo is talking about with case sensitivity is that some servers (Linux usually) are case sensitive so FILE.gif is different than file.gif and other servers (usually Windows) do not care about case and FILE.gif and file.gif are actually referring to the same file.
