Video and Slide Transitions

Hello

I have created a Powerpoint presentation with multiple videos in it. I have
noticed that after they have finished playing some of them I have to click
twice to advance to the next slide while others I only have to click once. I
am using Powerpoint 2003, and just going to insert movie from file choosing
file. How can I make all slides with video on them advance with one click
after the video has stopped playing?

Thank you
Kaitlin

What are your slide transition settings? If you set the slides to transition
automatically after 1 second, you shouldn't need to click anything.

I have set the slides to transition after one second but it does not
activate. It just sits on the video until I hit right arrow twice and then it
will transition to the next slide. It seems like the video is still taking
control of the slide even though it has finished playing.

Thanks

Is there anything else on the slide other than the movie? Do you have anything
on the Slide Master that requires a mouse click?

There is nothing on the master slide, and the only thing on the slide is the
video. I have tried adding an animation to activate after previous but it
does not work. It really just seems like the video ends and sticks.

Thanks

Do you have rewind checked or unchecked? What sort of movies are they?

Hello

They are Mpeg-1 videos. Rewind is not checked.

thanks

I suspect some of the videos were made with one of the popular video editors
and it doesn't meet the standards for mpg-1. If they are small enough fire
one off to me in an email and I'll look at it.

Are you clicking on the video, or in an unused area of the slide?

I wonder if updating Direct X would help at all with this? Might be worth a
try, anyway.
