I insert a video into Power Point and the video works fine, but the sound
wont play! help?
 
i put powerpoint and the file in the same folder if thats what you mean, but
no. The sound still wont play. When i open the file in realplayer, the sound
works fine.
 
Hi

Where is the folder? If the file path name is too long powerpoint gets
confused. So don't put it on your desktop or in 'My documents' as these have
long paths - instead create a folder directly on your C drive (if C is your
main drive). If you are unsure how to do this, post back letting me know your
operating system (e.g. XP, Vista, etc).

Also make sure you re-insert movie file *after* moving files to the new
folder.

See you there
 
ok i put the video into my C drive and i re-inserted the video in powerpoint
but the sound still doesnt play.
 
"I play it in REALPLAYER" may be the problem. Some programs hijack the
settings in mplayer2. Try reinstalling the latest version of Windows Media
Player which will reset things and see if that helps.

Make sure that BOTH the vid and pres are in a folder with a short path
length BEFORE inserting it.

sort out codecs http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/mediaenc1.html
