Hi all,

I have cut some scenes from a dvd to include in a powerpoint
presentation as Mpeg files. as some of them are only 20 secomds long I
need then to loop maybe 6 or 7 times. Can anyone help - we've tried
virtually everything!

Thanks

Ian

Have you tried...right clicking the movie image in powerpoint and choosing
"Edit movie object" (which is badly named).....which really shows "movie options" and there is the old ppt 97 options

"loop until stopped" and
"rewind movie when done playing"

Along with total playing time
and where the "link to the movie is"

Cheers

Hello,

While you can use the Edit Movie command to control whether or not a movie
loops or not, there is no option for specifying how many times a movie (or
sound) loops.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that some kind
feature for how often inserted media repeats, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones

your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
