Problems inserting movie in PowerPoint

[walt]

I keep gettin this message "Video not available. Cannot find "vids:mjpg
decompressor" when trying to insert a movie clip in PowerPoint. The movie
plays fine in Windows MediaPlayer.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help, but tried and it still will not work. Anymore ideas?

 

[TAJ Simmons]

where did the video clip come from exactly?

Also when you renamed the file, are you sure you've got windows to "show
extensions for known filetypes" turned on? If it's not you can sometimes end
up with a double extension...

e.g. moviefile.avi.mpg

which just will not work either

Cheers
TAJ
