inserting a video
A few weeks ago I found a thread which talked about inserting a video by
clicking on object and then clicking on media player and putting in the url. It worked great but I have been working on other things and didn't get back to it until now and I am obviously missing a step because it is not working and I can't find the instructions again. I click on insert, object, media player and then put in the url but nothing happens - what am I missing - i'm desperate. I have also tried different video clips and changing the name on the clips to something shorter. By the way when I insert it as a movie the sound plays but the picture is a just a bunch of colours. Please help |

inserting a video
Question: why are you playing video from a URL? This is possible, but it
does create a number of technical issues which can lower the success rate of the video playing. Best practice is to download and convert video to a PPT friendly format and play from hard drive for best success rate. Here is a tutorial (note: this is a bit old and the techcrunch service is no longer available. Just do a search for 'youtube download' and lots of options are available): http://pptblog.tlccreative.com/index...erpoint-part-2 -- Troy @ TLC MS PowerPoint MVP Check out www.ThePowerPointBlog.com "Marg" wrote in message ...
