package for cd sound issue

G

Guest

I created a presentation in ppt 2003 and then ran the package for cd feature
as I need to burn multiple copies for others. The burned cd runs mildly okay
on my pc (the music is out of sync by a few slides and sometimes the track
"skips"). When I move to another computer to test the show, the first sound
file (music which plays under the first 63 slides) is completely missing. The
second sound file - finishes out the show and starts on cue. What gives? (I
am trying to play the burned cd in windows 2000).

The operating system 2000 does not matter. What matters is that the only
music file that travels with PowerPoint by being embedded, are WAV files all
others are linked and have to travel with the presentation Timings and
synchronizations are not one of PowerPoint's best features, and will vary
from machine to machine. Also CD drives run slower than Hard Drives which
will also throw your synchronization out of whack.

Thanks, I did not know that only .wav files will embed with the "package for
cd" feature. Both of the music files in my show are .wma...however, it
doesn't explain why one of the sound files played from "packaged cd show" on
the older OS and the other did not. Both play from "packaged cd show" on the
xp system. Could different Media player versions be somehow related ? --

Could be a whole number of things that could cause one file to play and the
other not. You might want to have a look here as a place to start
