PowerPoint 2000 Video Playback from CD-R

I have a presentation with multiple video clips (.WMV
format). I have linked these clips up to play from a CD-R
along with my presentation (also stored on the CD-R). From
my working computer, I linked these up to drive D:\ (my CD-
ROM drive). I tested them out and everything worked great!
However, if I take the CD-R to a computer with a different
drive letter assigned for the CD drive, I have to manually
switch each video clip so they can be found on the disc
(e.g. E:\clip1.wmv instead of D:\clip1.wmv). Does anybody
have a fix for this other than just changing my drive
letter in Windows? I would sincerely appreciate any help
with this issue?
 
Adam,

The trick is to put the video clips in the same directory as your .ppt file BEFORE you insert > movies > from file.

Then all should be well when you make your CD-Rs
