MPEG and AVI files

[Ray Nelson]

I am trying to find a way to play both of these file types in the same
manner.

We do presentations with two images per slide. When one image is an AVI file
we get the type of display that we desire. That is to say, the video plays
alnogside the pictue on boththe computer screen and the image displayed
through the projector. Unfortunately when we try the same thing with MPEG
clips the computer screen display is the same as with AVI files but the
projected image becomes a full scrren of just the video clip - we do not get
the side by side picture/ video clip that we see on the computer screen or
as described above for AVI files.

Is there a way to change the way MPEG files project or is this something we
will have to live with?

Thanks in advance for help and suggestions.

Thanks for the respone and advice. I was able to solve the problem. Our
laptops have nVidia graphics cards so I was able to use the nVidia device
software - can't remember the name - to change the zoom setting. In our
case, Zoom was already disabled so I enabled it and now all the video clips
play alongside the other slide on the screen rather than the MPEGS playing
full screen.

Many thanks again.
