Hi Admin,
I have two video files that will not play in my presentation - one is a matrox compression and the other is DivX.
They play in the Windows MCI Player, I have shortened both file names to only a few characters and I have also created a root directory on my C drive, but the files will still not play.
I hope you can help!  |

Hi Elaine,
of course both files are using third party codecs. Both the matrox and the DivX codecs.
If they are playing through the MCI Player, as well as Windows Media Player, and the filenames are located as you say in the root of your C drive, is your presentation also located on the root of the C drive Elaine?
I know it may sound like a silly obvious thing, but one of the easiest mistakes to make is to move for example the location of a linked media file in PowerPoint to another location without updating the link in PowerPoint.
If you place your PowerPoint presentation and the video files in the same folder, deleting the instances of both video files from your presentation and then reinsert them using the Insert menu command. Do the video files play now?
