MPEG video files

[Guest]

I have a PowerPoint 2003 presentation which has video files that show full
screen when selected. I moved the presentatin to a new computer (Vista) with
PowerPoint 2007. I now only get the audio and a white screen when the videos
are played. I have shortened the pathways and even rebuilt the presentation
using PowerPoint 2007. The video files play correctly in Windows Media
Player, but not when inserted into a PowerPoint slide.

I think if you look at this tutorial it may help.

I guess you just moved your PowerPoint presentation without video files. The
video files in PowerPoint are linked externally not embedded directly. You
must move your video files with presentation in correct relative path.
Probably it's not the compatibility issue between PP 2003 and 2007.

Alternatively, you can try converting your PowerPoint to other fomats with
your video embeded. If you'd like to do so, you may can try some conversion
tools such as Wondershare PPT2Flash (

http://www.artiiculate.com) or FlashSpring Pro (http://www.falashspring.com).


Besides, converting PowerPoint to video files would be another easy way but
larger file size than Flash. You can choose the way you like to solve this
problem.

Have fun
