playing moviemaker files

I find that when I insert a moviemaker file into
PowerPoint no matter how it is played e.g. fade, zoom,
play etc. it flashes on as it starts, spoiling the smooth
running of the movie.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks

I know this is an issue with MPEGs, but we've been seeing more reports of it with WMV as well.

Only totally reliable way I can think to resolve this is to conver the WMV to an AVI. (I'm assuming the Movie Maker export format is WMV.)
