mpg files not playing in ppt 2000

[Guest]

Hi,

I have PPT 2000. When I insert from file a mpg document it will not play for
some reason. It remains a big black square. If I play it on an other computer
(laptop) it will play. Can you help me out?

Thank you

Convert your video file to a wmv video file, as powerpoint likes this
