Playing Divx video in Powerpoint

[Luigi Montevecchi]

I've been playing Divx video files in my Powerpoint presentations for many
years: Now I can't no more!!!

a.. The Divx video files run in Windows Media Player
b.. When I insert a video file into Powerpoint it asks if I want to play
it automatically during the presentation, but I'm just able to see the
picture (still image) of the first frame and no video starts (even if I
click on the frame)
c.. The same problem happens both on my notebook and on my desktop


The only change I have recently made is the installation of the last version
(v.6.2) of the Divx codec

I have also tried to uninstall the codec and to reinstall the older one: no
difference!!!

What I have to do?

Thanks in advance

Which version of PowerPoint?

 

[montevecchi]

Powerpoint 2002 ( The same version on the same PCs I've always used with
Divx...!)
I've tried to use Windows Media Player to play Divx in Powerpoint, but it
can't be customized (fade, entrance effects...)
How can i SOLVE MY PROBLEM?
Thank You michael!

You cannot customize the fade for any sound file in PowerPoint.
