Inserting MPGs into PowerPoint Presentation

I have 2 mpgs of 2gb and 4gb which will not load properly into my PowerPoint
presentation, but will do so by inserting them through the use of an action
button, then they are played through Media Player? Is it the size of the
mpgs that's causing my problem? My computer has 512 RAM. Thanks.
 
If your movie files are in the GB (Gigabyte) size, they are to big.
PowerPoint hands off movies to the "internal" windows media player and that
would choke virtually any computer. The easiest solution is to use the
PFCMedia add-in to resize and insert the movies into the presentation
(www.pfcmedia.com). Or you can resize them yourself using a video editing
application (be sure to use a common codec). Depending on the playback size
and time length of the movie an MPEG1 of over 500MB would be hard to make,
so your GB size movies are into the extreme overkill for presentation needs.

Hi, I've been following this thread. I'm unable to get wmv files, that I've
created in Photo Story 3, to run inside PowerPoint. I've downloaded PFCMedia
and used it to insert the files but they still don't run.

The files seem OK because they run perfectly in Windows Media Player on the
desktop.

Any advice would be much appreciated as I've got a group of pupils working
on an end of term presentation.

Regards,
Alan Morrin
