One click playing of a DVD using movie button in PowerPoint slide

[Dave]

Hi

I have a slide set up so that during a presentation, when a movie button is
clicked a DVD starts to play....well, sort of. Clicking on the button cause
the DVD player program to load with the movie...I then have to click the play
command on the player to start the movie on the DVD.

Is there some way to make this a one click event? I realize that PowerPoint
doesn't support DVDs but it can be done through the action buttons/action
settings.

Just to add to my question.

I followed the instructions at

"PowerPoint can't or won't play my movie file
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HA012061491033.aspx?pid=CL100626991033

to add a movie button to my page. The instructions imply that automatic
playing of the DVD is the usual result after clicking the movie button.

Check out the solution here:

PFCPro can play selected in/out points directly from a DVD. You can give it
a try for free to see if it does what you need.

Thanks! What was suggested is what I previously had explored on my own. So,
there is no PowerPoint solution, oh well.
