Why is there a delay in starting movie (WMV) inserted into PowerPo

If I insert a WMV video file into a PowerPoint 2003 presentation and set it
to start automatically, there is about a 10 second delay when the slide is
opened before the movie finally starts to play. However, if I insert a MPG
version of the same movie, it will start to play as soon as the slide is
opened.

I would think that PowerPoint should work better with the Windows media file
than with an MPG. I have several clips to insert and the finished product
needs to fit on a CD. The MPG files will be too large to do this, so that is
why I am trying to use the smaller WMV files.

Any ideas?

How did you convert them to WMV and which version of WMV are they?
