I have a powerpoint presentation that is about 2 years
old that has about ten thirty second clips in it. It
seemed to work fine for months but after about a year
none of the movies would play anymore so I had to go back
and reload all the movies. Again for about six months
everyting is fine but now again the moveis don't play.
What is going on? I'm afraid I will be in front of a
crowd and this will happen again.
 
What has changed? Has the version of PowerPoint remained the same? BTW,
what version are you using? Have you moved the video files or renamed the
folder they're in? Have you changed versions of Windows or installed other
player software (Real Player, etc.)?
 
Same computer, same version of windows(xp pro), same
version of powerpoint(2000), same files, folders,
location etc. Nothing as far as I can tell has changed.
The video files will play in thier own folders and when
you replace them in powerpoint but at somepoint months
later they will not play in the presentation itself.
