.mpg m-disaster

I am familiar with linking the videos, their required
location etc. I do that all the time with great success.
The issue I have is that sometimes .mpg files simply will
not play on some folks machines. I was hoping it was
something I did in the prep of the .ppt, but it sounds
like it is a sysem specific issues that may be too
overwheling to fix. I have used .avi files with great
success, unfortunately they tend to be HUGE files and we
are looking to trim down.

Are you talking MPEG1 or MPEG2?
Generally MPEG1 files should play on most machines (subject to multimedia
settings not being hijacked) but MPEG2 playback (particularly from
PowerPoint) is, as you describe, very system dependent
(software/OS/hardware).
