I found the following writeup from the link http://www.pfcmedia.com/Tutorial.htm which was included in the link I posted previously. "The MCI Player Before explaining multimedia and PowerPoint it is important to understand PowerPoint uses the Windows MCI player for playback of multimedia in PowerPoint and NOT the Windows Media Player. (There are rare exceptions in PowerPoint XP and 2003 but the user need not normally be concerned with them.) What is the MCI player and why does PowerPoint use it? The answer can be summed up in one word, compatibility. The MCI Player is a player application built upon the Windows API calls for media.

This will start the MCI player (NOT the Windows Media Player) used by PowerPoint. You may then open your media file in the normal manner and play it. If the media fails to play in the MCI player it will NOT play properly in PowerPoint." I hardly know anything about CODEC, MCI Player, multimedia etc. I would appreciate some comments from the experts.
