Inserting a clip

I am trying to insert a clip into a presentation and the clip is approximately 40 seconds. It will play when I am creating my presentation, but when I go to play the whole presentation it only plays 6 seconds. I have a friend he does the same steps and inserts a video, same file type and it's over 2 minutes and he can get the whole clip to run. What's the deal?
 
Does your slide have a transition set for after 6 seconds?

But it sounds like the friend is inserting a different clip, so you might be
right.

Had a user here on this board with a similar issue with a sound file.

Thing is, it stalled out partway through on my machine, too. Turned out the
file had a variable bitrate setting selected when it was rendered.
Wonder if that's a possibility here? Perhaps not, since the same thing

isn't happening on your friend's system, though.

I sent him the same clip I was trying to insert that wouldn't play all the way through and he was able to play it all the way through...

Yeah, I realized that right after I hit Send. Was just coming back to say what you already said!

Ah, well in that case, my theory is wrong.

You might do a quick runthrough of the info and tests listed at http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/multimedia.htm I'd be interested in how the file plays in mplay32.exe
