Projecting Video Error

[Christopher Garrod]

Hi,

I have a Powerpoint 2000 presentation which contains Video clips.

I have had no problem linking the files and they play perfectly on the
screen of the Laptop. My problem arises when the show is projected through
a data projector. The video appears blank, a big black box exists where the
video is playing. The Video on the laptop screen is visable, just not
visible on the projection.

This is very confusing, has anyone come across this issue?

Many Thanks,

CG

I have actually solved this problem a different way enabling both video on
Laptop and Projection Screen.

Right Click Desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshooting >
Hardware Acceleration > Set to None.

Now I can see both video together on both screens

Cheers anyway!
