Hi CowGirl, welcome to the 123PPT Community and PowerPoint Forum. YouTube videos are uploaded by users in all differing kinds of file formats and with differing codecs and differing encoding rates. Playing any uploaded video back through the YouTube Player is simple because YouTube re-encodes videos, movies and files to play from their servers. The problem in downlaoding these files to your machine for use as a video background is that it is not always guaranteed that you have the correct codecs required on your system to play back these YouTube files as video backgrounds. When you install the http://www.123ppt.com/video-backgrounds-studio/ - 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio , several components are installed including the 123PPT Play & Share, the http://www.123ppt.com/presentations-player/ - 123PPT Presentations Player and the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. The K-Lite Mega Codec Pack is installed to ensure that any video file, YouTube movie or YouTube video that you import or download into the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio for use as a video background in your PowerPoint presentations can be played and can be correctly re-encoded using standard Windows codecs to ensure that the video background will play back on any and every pc computer without needing to install any codecs or special software. When you install the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio for PowerPoint, if you are running an antivirus or malware application that is set to very high or overly sensitive, it may well be that one or more of the components of the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio get blocked from installing correctly. If, as it appears in this instance the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack is blocked from installing, then when you download a YouTube video to use as a video background, a codec on your syste, which nearest matches the required standard codec is used to convert the video file. Although the video will convert, it will not conform to a universal Windows standard if your default codecs have been changed or removed by other third-party software and the codec used to convert your YouTube video was instead one of the other available codecs on your machine. When playing back the video background in your presentation the 123PPT Presentations Player will note the video background is not comforming to universal standards and advises to update Direct X or system codecs to correct the problem. Your application is fine and your PowerPoint presentation is fine CowGirl, but it does seem that the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack was blocked from installing and that you have non standard Windows codecs on your machine. To correct the problem simply: - Download the latest K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and install these codecs on your machine.
- Restart your computer.
- Delete the YouTube video that you have converted to a video background on your computer using the MANAGE function in the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio.
- Select the YouTube function in the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio and enter the URL of the YouTube video again to correctly download and convert the video to a video background.
When you now insert the video background to your slide or slides you will see your presentation and video backgrounds now play perfectly. You never need to do this again CowGirl, it was simply because the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack was blocked by your system security settings at the time of installing the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio and now that you have installed the Codec Pack manually your software will run and operate as intended.
