MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2007Video goes black in PP2003
I wrote a PP2003 presentation and inserted videos, all worked. Desk top computer with Windows media center. I copied presentation to an external hard drive connected to same desk top. All worked. I then connected ext hard drive to laptop with PP203 and Vista. Running slide presentation, many videos work, most do not. Help  Signaturesteve Did you put the vids in the same folder as the presentation BEFORE you inserted them? Vids are always linked and it sounds like the link path is broken.

Question: Are the videos that don't work WMV files and the videos that do work AVI?

I've deleted videos and inserted them, nothing worked. You wrote a second reply about visiting a website that converts videos and is supposed to always work in power point. I went to the website, talked to a chief engineer who wrote the program. I am going to get a free download and tryt it out.

I went to the website, plays for certain and downloaded their free trial. It worked!!! I even spoke to an engineer from the company and he explained what it would do. I am not that sharp with software so I did not look for codecs for vista to download, but I did delete and reinsert videos, all in the same folder, but nothing helped. I made sure the path length was short too. Highest regards for all your help Signaturesteve > Steve, > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > >> > most do not. > >> > Help On the Vista machine you will need to install the required codecs. Of the packages out there I would recommend the "Vista Codec Pack". A Google search will turn up many places to download from.
