Playing Videos in PPT

I've saved an avi file that I got online, and edited it with Windows Movie
Creator. After adding some transitions and cutting the video clip, I tried
inserting it into a PowerPoint presentation. While I can get the frame of the
video to show up, I do not see any video. However, the audio quality is fine.
I believe I have enough specs to run video on my computer (1.7; 512 megs; 128
mb video card), and my edited clip works fine with Windows Movie Creator. I
tried to use the original avi file instead of the edited file. The frame that
appears in PPT is black.
 
If the audio plays and but showing a black screen, its probably a codec
issue. Check this out for more information:

As for using the original video, the path may be longer than 128 characters.

You might want to consider using Plays For Certain to solve the issue. It
plays for certain ;)

Ok, I went to the PFC website and dowloaded all the prerequisites needed to
downoad that program, and when I attempted to run the installer, I got this
error message:
"Run time error '76'
Path Not Found"

Turning of hardware acceleration or anything of that sort didn't do any good.
 
See if Austin will be able to help you with that, you can also email to
PFCmedia regarding the error.
