Hi Jim
Excuse if only now I answer but it stows very busy.
I did try the things you ask me to, but it did not resolve the problem . I can
play videos .wmv , .mov or .avi in my mac but what I want to do is to insert
this videos in Power Point as an Object (Menu Insert - Object...) . And when I
try to do that in the box "Object Type:" don't happers the video type to be
selected. If I try to choose "Create from file" it gives me the error that I
already describe for you (see Messenge before)
Ok , My answer is - Why can't I insert this videos as an object?
Excuse for the bother and thanks once again.
Hi,
There's a whole concept of "object" that is a special case when you use
Insert > Object. The concept kind of "object" being referred to by this
feature is a special kind that gets put into a document as OLE (Object
Linking and Embedding). Usually this kind of object is a document from a
different program (an Excel workbook in PowerPoint, for example).
Movies and sounds are linked and embedded, and they are objects, too. It
certainly sounds reasonable to expect these media files to be able to be
inserted from Insert > Object, but the handling of movies and sounds is
quite different from OLE objects.
Use Insert > Movies and Sounds > From File. You'll see different dialog
boxes and options that are tailored to dealing with media files.
-Jim
