html5 canvas video file deleted when file is published or tested

[tdl9570]

2017.1 Release

Build: 16.1.1.0.86

video: mpeg-4 file

I have a video component on my stage, with the source pointing to a file in my folder  - "Videos/myVideo.mp4"

When I Test or Publish the file, the video in my folder disappears, so I'm assuming it's deleted because when I search for the file on my computer I can't find it.

Is anyone else having this issue?

I found that I needed to publish to a separate folder.  When publishing the HTML5 file to the same folder as the project, the mp4 files would be deleted (not even to the trash folder).  When publishing to a separate directory all seems to work.
