Playing movies in Powerpoint presentation slides.

Greetings Everyone

Mpeg2 movies always hang during Powerpoint presentation.
Any suggestions?

Here's the details:

Movie File Details
Mpeg2 file size: 64 MB
Number of Presentation slides: 120
Office 2000
Upgraded with SP3
Videocodecs enabled.

System Details
Pentium4 3 Mhz Notebook
OS: Win XP
Ram: 256 MB

Thanks in advance

Re

Videocodecs enabled.

Not quite sure what that means, to be honest, but I'd suggest converting to
MPEG1. PPT sometimes has issues with MPEG2. There's an Elecard decoder
that's been mentioned here -- you could download that and see if it resolves
the issue.

Probably the easiest thing to do, though, is grab PFCMedia and let it
convert your videos. It will make your life much easier. Fully functional
trial version available at http://www.pfcmedia.com
