I am building a presentation that keeps crashing (error report) when I
try to attach an avi file.
It is a presentation with about 12 slides and on the last slide I want
it to play a 3 gig avi file that I created.
The avi file was capture from a vhs and saved to my hd as an avi file.
The avi file plays with the Microsoft Media Player just fine but when I
INSERT>Movies and Sounds>Movie from file> and then chose the avi
file,the program gives me a fatal error page to send to Microsoft, it
then makes me save my presentation so I dont loose anything.
Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks
Brad
 
Brad,

It could be the 3 gig size. It could be the type of AVI

Try doing a small vhs capture for about 30 seconds...and try that.

If that works try a longer on. At some point powerpoint amy choke on the size of the clip.

If the small clip does not work...try exporting the captured vhs clip in another format (mpeg1) or avi with a cinepak
codec
