Video clip

[Guest]

I require to show a video clip during a PPT presentation. I have set an
action button with a hyperlink to the video clip which is associated with
VLC. However when I click on the action button the clip is shown in Real
Player. If I click on the video clip file name the clip is shown in VLC

Can anybody help - I need this yesterday.

Many thanks

Jack

Not really, never heard of it before but that is nothing surprising. Can
you tell me where it came from or who made it?

It's quite a popular open source player:

Ah, in that case I would assume it has hosed many of the Windows media
settings. I would suggest downloading and re-installing Windows Media
Player to begin sorting it out.
