Powerpoint Slide with Video Clip Problem

[Guest]

I have an inserted video clip that operates succesfully with Microsoft Media
Player.

However, after I inserted it into a PP slide as directed, when played it
displays a black blank screen in the insertion window of the slide.

This only happens when played, the first frame of the video is visable in
the insertion before any action takes place.

Try moving the presentation and the video to a higher level folder.
(C:\test).

Probably the path length is too long. Shorten it and see if it works.

To do so, create a test folder in C:\ drive.
Move the movie and ppt to the folder.
Open the ppt.
Reinsert the video into the PPT file and see if it plays.

I tried your suggestion, however it did not work. I have Microsoft Office
2003 Professional, running on my computer. Any other suggestions?

You may want to give PFCMedia a try. It will process the media into a
format more compatible with PowerPoint. You may download a free, fully
functioning trial version from http://www.pfcmedia.com
