Power Point 2003 SP2 and  Windows Media Player Ver 11.0.5358.4827

After inserting a Windows Media Player, going to custom, browsing for video
file, the list shows several IFO and VOB files. Is it always selecting the
first VOB file that makes it work?

I set for full screen mode, but subsequent showing reverts back to a default
size. I can right click the mouse and then select "zoom, full screen," but is
there a keyboard way of doing this? The normal wmp keyboard  shortcuts do not
work.

When the slide shows up that the DVD is to pay in, it comes up full screen
black (as designed in the slide). I've tried to add a default picture to show
while the media is loading up, but it keeps getting over ridden by the black
screen from the wmp. Is there a way of having a picture show while the media
is loading, and then with a delay or something let the DVD menu show up on
top of the picture?

Further, the video is just one screen among others, that is, there are slide
before and after it. I can get the video to start, but when it comes to the
end, I cannot get it to go onto the next slide. What should I do to make this
happen? Stopping the video and "esc" kicks me out of the presentation.

Also, some of my slides have a recorded voice, but the volume between these
slide and video is quite different. Where do I go to get them at the same
level?

Thanks for helping.
