Separate systems, same rom name, wrong video is showing... WTF?

Okay, this is super weird.  I'm running Pinball FX and MAME through Hyperspin.  One of the games for Pinball FX is "Mars".  I have a video in the Pinball FX media folder for "Mars".  All the other videos for Pinball FX work fine.  But when I get to Mars in Hyperspin, it shows me the video for a MAME game that also has the name "Mars".  I swear, I've got the right videos in the right places - the pinball video of Mars in the Pinball FX media folder and the arcade video of Mars in the MAME video folder.  I had no idea that Hyperspin would get the wrong video playing if two roms on two different systems are titled the same - seems like it shouldn't work this way???

I thought about just working around it by changing the name of one set of the rom and media, but if I change the name of either, it won't work any more.  MAME needs the rom to be called "Mars", and Pinball FX also needs the name to be "Mars", as far as I know. 

Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks!

I swear.  The video for the MAME Mars rom is at "H:/Hyperspin/Media/MAME/Video".  The video for the Pinball FX Mars rom is at "H:/Hyperspin/Media/Pinball FX/Video".  Yet the video showing up in Hyperspin for the Pinball FX Mars is DEFINITELY the video for the MAME rom.

You telling me that I definitely have something in the wrong place isn't helping me very much.  :)
