Video clip doesn't show up on projector...

[Garu]

Hi all,

I have various avi & mpg files video clips inserted on my presentation.
Some of the clips displays fine on laptop and projector. However, some
clips only displays on laptop when play but not on projector, what we see on
projected screen is a pink color box when plays. Is this data format
related problem? Is there a workaround on this problem?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Try swapping the primary and secondary displays. Right click on the Desktop,
select Properties... menu item, select "Settings" tab. If the projector is
not primary, make it primary by placing a check against "Use this device as
the primary monitor" box.

Thanks Chirag & Taj, I can now see the video clip on the projector by
setting the projector as the primary display, but the clip doesn't show up
on the laptop. Anyway, this is acceptable to me since I am the presentor
and could always look at the screen when video is playing. At least the
audience can see the playback on the big screen. I'll try updating my ATI
driver later.

Thanks so much.
