## Title

    [Azure OpenAI Sora 2 / OpenAI SDK] AttributeError: 'OpenAI' object has no attribute 'videos' (old openai package)

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented: upgrade the OpenAI client to get videos; use the synchronous sample in notebooks to avoid the asyncio.run error.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - openai-python 3.1.0 changelog notes "deprecate Sora video APIs"; check current availability before building on it.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - RuntimeError: asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-ai-docs/blob/main/articles/foundry/openai/includes/concepts-video-generation-2.md (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Sora 2 docs: update the OpenAI client to prevent AttributeError: 'OpenAI' object has no attribute 'videos'; use the synchronous version in Jupyter to avoid the asyncio.run() RuntimeError.
    
    Search phrasings: 'OpenAI' object has no attribute 'videos'; azure sora 2 videos.create attribute error; asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop jupyter openai
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
