Skip past and return to slide to play videos

[Bud]

I have a 2007 presentation with multiple mpeg 2 videos (which display fine
using mplayer2) which play OK, but only after I click through a slide, backup
to the slide with the video, and click on it to start. I have the video set
to play automatically, by the way. I had a few people try this in 2003
format, and as a 2003 pps, with only one PC (with Office 2003 installed) able
to see the videos work as designed (automatically upon navigation to the
slide). All others behave as above.

Bud,

I have heard this a few times but have been unable to reproduce it. Any
chance you can send me a copy of the presentation? (Or make a small single
slide presentation with one of the non-working videos in it?)

Austin,

Thank you for your response. We have done some more research, and it seems
like it's just certain file types coming out of Pinnacle Studio. WMV and
MPEG-1 files play fine, although at lower quality. For our purposes, we're
just going to use MPEG-1.

Thanks again,

Bud
