very weird video problem

Ok, this is a good one: I have an avi file that is encoded with ms-rle that
plays fine in media player but doesn't in ppt. Basically when playing, a
still image of the movie briefly appears to leave space for a blank screen.
The same file works fine on ppt in other computers.

But here comes the fun. If I create an avi file with ms-rle codec on this
computer (eg, with snagit) and I embed that file on ppt it works. I guess
ppt doesn't like avi files with ms-rle codec that have been created on other
computers (eg, win 2000 pro).

The computer is souped up, and made for multimedia. I'm using XP home, with
office XP. All critical updates have been made. The registry shows the
right list of codecs, and everything looks fine.

Anybody has a clue of what is going on?

Thanks for any help
