Inserting wmv video into PPT

[Guest]

I have tried inserting wmv video into ppt and it worked a couple of times but
now I get the full screen effect (which I wanted) but the video doesn't run
(white screen only). 1.5gb ram, wmv files play fine in Windows Media player.
I'm baffled.

Are you playing it full screen via the PPT setting or sizing it yourself?

Hi Pete,

a white screen very often is a sign, that the path length is too long. Try
moving your presentation AND your videos to a folder with a shorter path
name, e.g. C:\Test.

Best regards,
