681783 2008-06-24 07:22:00 Hi all . I have an avi file on my 'puter that I want to use in a PowerPoint presentation . It plays happily in Nero Showtime & Windows Media Player . However, when I put it into PowerPoint 2007 - it doesn't . :(

The first frame is present, but nothing else happens . I suspect I need some codecs - but what?

Ideas would be appreciated . :)
TIA as always .

Cheers
R . M .

Not use Open?

Mmm - I can see complications there! I'm missing something called 'vids:dvsd' compressor - and then I'll put this together on PowerPoint 2007 and then try to run it on PowerPoint 2003 . I think we might just 'role-play' instead!

Thanks for your help . I'll think about this!
