inserting a movie file

[Guest]

Hi,

I insert either .avi or .mpeg into my presentation file, the first image of
the movie file will appear, but once I want to play it, the screen becomes
white!!

How can I resolve that?

Cheers,
Mehdi.

 

[Guest]

I've been having this issue too and it was simply resolved by adding the
movie to the same folder as the presentation. Worked for me

I did also the same, but it didn't work. I have all of the in one folder!!!

Thanks.

Mehdi,

in that case it's probably the total path/folder length is toooo long

Did you put it in the same folder and THEN insert it?

OR to create a short path length create a folder on C: with a short name eg
"mov"
