MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2006Powerpoint 2000 and Sony Picture Package - Insert Video Error
After installing Sony Picture Package on my HP Laptop with Window XP Home, PowerPoint 2000 presents the following error message (then closes) when I try to insert a newly created Mpeg movie clip into a PowerPoint presentation. "Microsoft PowerPoint has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience..." If I uninstall Sony Picture Package, the same movie clip inserts with no problem and there are no error messages. Is there some way to leave Picture Package on the laptop and still insert Mpeg Video clips? (I need Sony Picture Package or something similar to download movies off of a Sony Handycam DVR). Thanks for the help When you say Mpeg, is it a mpg-1 or an mpg-2?

"Properties" does not reveal the type. Perhaps you can tell me how to determine the type of file. Does it make a difference to whether Picture Package and its software interfers with Powerpoint? > When you say Mpeg, is it a mpg-1 or an mpg-2? > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > DVR). > > Thanks for the help What I believe is happening is that your software is installing an incompatible codec, or it is changing system settings and file associations for video. PowerPoint's media player (MCI player) is not very forgiving when it comes to this. For a full explanation you might want to look at the tutorial I put together on the subject. http://www.pfcmedia.com/Tutorial.htm Austin Myers MS PowerPoint MVP Team Provider of PFCMedia, PFCPro, PFCExpress http://www.pfcmedia.com > Unfortunately I am unable to confirm the type of Mpeg file it is. > "Properties" does not reveal the type.
