Hi All,

I am trying to insert a movie in a PowerPoint presentation. I have
tried to insert a *.MOV *.MPEG and a *.MP4 movie, as this didn't work
in converted the movie to WMV. The WMV movie can be played in Media-
Player, but when i insert it in PowerPoint, PPT crashes completely. I
am using:
PowerPoint 2003, SP2
Windows Media Player 10
DirectX 9.0C

Thanks in advance for your help!

Bernard

I wonder if the Plays for Certain add-in could help you. Check it out at
http://www.playsforcertain.com/

I'm pretty sure there is a free trial period so you can see if it helps
your problem before buying it.
