Dear Friends
I'm writing to ask for your assistance with completing a PP presentation;
I'm more than happy to pay you for your time.
I've put together a 20-slide show of pictures and quotes, currently at 2.8Mb
although could probably be reduced further in size. I now want to set this
to music with a 3:38 minute track from a Hayley Westenra CD - I've written
to ask for copyright permission. I've taken the sound track from the CD with
Windows Media Player, and then converted it from a WMA file to an MP3 file
with WMAConvert. Using different compression settings, I've ended up with
two versions, one at 3.16Mb, the other at 876k.
Since I want to be able to email the finished product, I've converted these
two files to RIFF-WAV files, using CDex, so that I can embed the audio track
into the .pps file. This is where I've run into a problem: although both
files play perfectly well on their own, when I insert them into the .ppt
file, I seem to be getting distortion on their time track. The 876k file
stops playing halfway through the slide show; the 3.16Mb file cuts off
abruptly 7 seconds before the end, which means I lose the nice long fade
into the final slide, which spoils the whole effect. Also, clearly, I would
prefer to use the smaller file, if possible, to keep the overall file size
to a minimum.
Can you very kindly tell me how to do this, or do it for me and bill me for
your time? Either way, I would be most grateful for your assistance.
Many thanks and kind regards, Robin Scott
