MPEG Insertion

[CaptnRon]

Anyone know why my PPT 2000 will play certain MPEG files
while not others?

I get no errors only a black box?

Many Thanx

It's probably a difference in codecs.

See http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/multimedia.htm for info
on how PPT handles multimedia.

I've actually read this already, and downloaded codecs to
no avail. Although to be honest I donwnloaded the lite
version of codecs recomended on the site and they did
include MPEG; simply it failed to correct the problem.

I Guess the question is how are the opwerable codecs
organized, it seems to be a black art. Why does WMP play
this and not MP?

My Windows Media Player plays them OK, but not the Media
Player that MS_PP relies upon (mplay32.exe).

Is there a better way to integrate an external player
like DIVX or MS_WMP that I know works fine?

I'm only trying to run bog-standard MPEG-2 files, this
shouldn't be rocket science surely.

Many thanx, & TTFN
