MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2005Why does Powerpoint close when I try to insert movie clips?
Help! my powerpoint closes with an error message saying "Microsoft Office powerpoint encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvience" when ever I try to put a movie clip in. How can I get round this? Hi SkippyJo, Without knowing more, I would suggest a few basics. Does this happen on all movies from various sources or just from one source? Does the movie play in the media player? Make sure that you are up to date on all windows and office Updates & SP's. Make sure that your video driver is up to date via the card manufacturer's website Make sure your DirectX is current This should get you started, post back with the results.

They are from the Kodak software, taken on digital camera. Do they need to be in Movie player format? What is DirectX? Look forward to your reply...

It's probably an issue with a proprietary codec, then. I'd suggest grabbing Austin's PFCMedia (Plays for Certain) and being done with it! http://www.pfcmedia.com SignatureEcho [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com > Thanks for your reply Bill > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > inconvience" when ever I try to put a movie clip in.
