I need to play MPEG-2 videos in PowerPoint.  I would like to know which
decoders work.  I know Elecard Moonlight works but the company is outside the
USA.  I am stuck buying USA products because I work for the US Government.  
Anyone got any suggestions?  Thanks,

Hope to see some of you at PPT Live in Sept....

Mike,

The Mpeg-2 codec is really the decoder used to play DVDs.  As you say it
does NOT come with Windows and you need to buy it.  I like PowerDVD myself.

Yep,  That would be fine and dandy but I misplaced my PowerDVD XP v4.0 key
code.  Just wanted to check if there were other options before I rebuy.  Do
you know if the next version of PowerPoint is going to support DirectShow?

Direct show is fully supported, but you still need the decoder. <g>

MS has a utility to test the DVD decoder compatibility.  You can download it
from:

Give it a whirl and see what it tells you.

Be careful what you wish for.  Some of us aren't as pretty in person as we are
in type.  ;-)

But we'll let you be the judge of that, eh?  Stop by the help center and say hi!

Hey all:

Well I finally found a free codec for MPEG-2 and all is well !!  PowerDVD
DELL Version 5 just did not seem to work.

BTW - Steve, I never noticed if you were "pretty" or not.  I do know that
PPTools rocks !!
