339907 2005-03-31 08:15:00 Powerpoint 2003 will not play mpg files. When converted to avi it plays them OK. Windows media player plays the mpg files so I assume that powerpoint should also.

Any ideas please.

339908 2005-03-31 09:09:00 Using Microsoft Windows Media Player for movies
If Microsoft PowerPoint won't play a movie file you try to insert, try to play the movie in Windows Media Player. First, test the movie outside of PowerPoint by opening Windows Media Player and opening your file from the File menu. If the movie doesn't play, Windows Media Player gives you detailed error messages and a Help link that can help you troubleshoot the problem.

If the movie plays in Windows Media Player, you can then insert it from within PowerPoint by clicking Object on the Insert menu and inserting it as a media clip.


...from Microsoft Office 2003 help
