Full Screen Mode

[CGR]

Hi,

I posted this some time ago, hopefully the experts will notice it this time.

I have inserted a video (wmv file) in powerpoint 2003 (on XP Pro) using
Insert-Object-Windows Media and this works without issue but I have some
problems when it runs.

In the object properties I have set the video to play full screen, however
if I set the slideshow to loop the video is only displayed full screen the
first time it plays, every time it loops it is the original size.

In the slide properties I have set the slide transition automatically after
(for example) two seconds. The first time the slide is shown the slide
changes to the next slide two seconds after the video has finished, each time
the slideshow loops the slide changes two seconds after the video has started.

Any clues or a work round would be greatly appreciated

Did you have a special reason to insert as an object?

If not try Insert > movies and sounds > movie from file

Yes,

For some reason I cannot get the same quality of video if I insert it as a
movie, it is more ghosted than when you use it as an object although I see no
logic to this.
