Use of video clips in Powerpoint Presentation
I am attempting to 'insert' several mpeg 1 clips as part of a presentation.
These clips were created from a DVD camera file. I have checked that the file type is 'associated' with 'Windows Media Player' but I cannot get these files to play. I CAN see a thumbnail image in the 'placeholder' location. It is my hope that these clips can be 'autoplayed' either on click or 'after the last action'. Am I missing something obvious?

Looks like i've managed to resolve this myself.
I converted the .mpg files to .wmv files and voila! It all seems to work now. Thanks anyway. "rampant_rhino" wrote: I am attempting to 'insert' several mpeg 1 clips as part of a presentation.

I converted the .mpg files to .wmv and suddenly they work. Why the .mpg files were a problem I don't know but I guess it doesn't really matter now.

You have done exactly the correct thing when you converted the mpeg file to wmv. WMV files do generally work flawlessly on any Windows computer while not all MPG files will as PPT uses a different player from within the program than Windows Media Player.
