Videos in PP won't play

[Jonathan]

I'm having trouble with videos not playing. I have burned my PP to a CD but
the videos won't play. I'm doing a presentation for drivers training, I'm a
police officer and not very good at the Powerpoint.

Forgot this part:
This problem occers when I try to view the PP on another computer.

Hi Jonathan

Videos are always LINKED. This means that you will have to burn both the
video and presentation.

Put both vid and pres in the same folder with a fairly short path and delete
and re insert the vid. Now burn both files to the CD or use Package for CD
(method depends on the version of PowerPoint)

This is accurate, but the emphasis should be putting everything in the same
folder. You will then need to delete the videos from your powerpoint and
add them again.

PS

We both presume that the videos are files and do play on your PC before you
create the CD. If not, that is an additional issue requiring further
explanation.
