mplay32.exe will not play movie WMP10 will
I have tried reading these forums but have diffficulty finding resolution to
my complaint. I can play this movie (.mpg) fine in Windows Media Player 10, but in reading other responses have learned that ppt uses mplay32.exe ( it's version is 5.1) to play the movies. This app will not play the movie. When I insert the movie into my ppt I just get a black square frame for the movie but it will not play. Is there a way to ask ppt to use Windows Media Player 10 for this function? If not I appriciate any other advise you can offer.

You can insert a Windows Media Player object. But you should try PFCMedia
first. Check it out he http://www.pfcmedia.com/ ...........TD "Howie J." wrote: I have tried reading these forums but have diffficulty finding resolution to my complaint.

Mr. Dunn, I apprieciate the response, unfortunatley it has not helped yet.
Here are the steps I took. Installed pfcmedia. Downloaded and installed Windows Media Encoder 9. Rebooted Inserted media into slide with pfcmedia. pfcmedia opened a window asking me to test function. Saw no video but could hear audio. All I got in test was black screen. Exited out of PPT without saving changes. Reopened PPT. Attempted to insert Windows Media Player Object I could see the image of the Media Player 10 in my slide show but could not find how to point it to target file. Please advise again.

The video clip is from a promotional dvd. The company that disributes this
dvd to its dealers (me) includes two disks. One for a DVD player and another that is for usage with computers. Hence, it should work. The clip was copied from the dvd and is in .mpg format. The copied clip plays fine in windows media player 10. I have shortened the path to the clip as well placing it in a folder in the c: root directory. Next i will try putting the ppt in that folder as well as I read somewhere else that they had success doing so. If you can offer anything I would be most appriciative!

Howie,
Sorry but more questions required. g When you say Mpeg is it mpeg-1 or mpeg-2? I ask because the mpeg-1 standard has set requirements (Size, resolution, color depth, etc.) and the MCI player will NOT handle a file that doesn't meet them. (The Windows Media Player is much more forgiving and may play it fine.) When most people create a mpeg-1 they test it in the Windows Media Player and if it works they think it's fine as they have no clue about the MCI player and it's requirements. I know it's a bit of a pain, but you might try removing PFCMedia and instead install PFCPro. We use more advanced technology in it for the conversion and I think it may just get the job done for you. If that doesn't bring any joy please drop me an email ) and I'll see what else we can do to get this sorted.

mplay32.exe will not play movie WMP10 will
I have the same problem. I have a mpeg2 video file that I made with a sony
hdr-sr1 video camera. It will not play in mplay32.exe but will play in windows media player. When I tried to use PFC Media I got an error message that said either my file was corrupt or has digital right managment. Do you have a suggestion on where to go from here?
