Dear PowerPoint experts,
My system is Windows XP (SP2), PowerPoint 2002, 512 MB RAM, 3.2 GZ
Intel chip, and Windows Media Player 11. I have 6 wmv videos, all of
which show properties of Windows Media Video 9 Codec, Half of these
videos will play nicely within a PowerPoint slide, and half won't.
The half that won't play within a slide just show a blank white screen
when clicked. All 6 videos were downloaded from the same web site.
All 6 videos are stored in the same folder that contains the
PowerPoint slide show itself. For the 3 videos that won't play
within a PowerPoint slide, all of them WILL play if I double click
them in the folder. However, once I insert them into PowerPoint, they
don't play. What on earth could be causing them not to play once I
insert them into a slide???? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
