MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007embedding a converted narration mp3 file into powerpoint, as RIFF
i hope somebody can take me out of my misery. we need to convert original wavs into smaller files, so have opted for mp3s. i have in the meantime found a way to trick ppt into thinking that my mp3 is a wav by converting it into another file that has a RIFF wav header. the conversions are working fine, albeit with a mish mash of programs, and i don't seem to get any loss of quality or content. however, as soon as i insert my newly converted mp3 with its RIFF wav header into a ppt slide, it chops the narration before it gets to the end. i have already played this file through media player to ensure that the whole things is there, and it is. so the problem seems to be occuring within ppt itself. does anybody have any suggestions on how to solve this issue? thanks in advance Tania Tania, The "trick" of fooling PPT into accepting an MP3 as a wav file has also sorts of possible issues, I think you just found one of them. :-( Austin Myers MS PowerPoint MVP Team Provider of PFCPro, PFCMedia and PFCExpress www.playsforcertain.com >i hope somebody can take me out of my misery. > we need to convert original wavs into smaller files, so have opted for [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > thanks in advance > Tania Where have you inserted the RIFF-WAV?
