Hi, I created a presentaion using Power Point 2002. I
inserted a couple of MPG movie files on one of the pages.
When I burn a CD with the presentation, the video clips
wont run because they are looking for the file on my
local drive.
How can I insert the file/s within the presentation so
that the clips will run regardless of the PC.
Thanks in advance
 
I believe that you must create a directory that has the powerpoint file and linked movies all in the same directory. If they are not in the same directory, the file loses the links.

Make sure, BEFORE inserting the MPEG into PPT, the file
Click to expand...
is in the same folder as the PPT. Then it will have the
link always pointing to the same folder as the PPT file.
So when you copy the PPT file to a CD, also copy the MPEG
to the same folder on CD (or the root).
