Default How to insert an MPG file into PPT 2007

Hi
i have a presentation to do.
I would like to add a home movie mpg file into one of the slides, so that
when the show gets to the slide, it will play the video.

I have gone Insert, movie, movie from file, and then added it to the slide,
and asked for automatic playing, but i just seem to get a black square and no
video.

Can anyone please help me with this.
Its for an award my dept are hopefully goiing to win based upon our
presentation, so really hope i can get this working.

Many Thanks
Matt

As a first step I would check that the viudeo is in the same folder as the
presentation BEFORE you insert it. That folder should have a short path. (eg
C:\PPT\
