MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008HELP! Audio/video won't play in PowerPoint Broadcast!
Audio/video objects embedded in, or linked to, a PowerPoint 2003 slide show supposedly won't play when viewed in a web browser, unless the slide show is saved as a PowerPoint Broadcast (or created via PowerPoint Producer). They actually DO play for me when my slide show is saved on a local drive as a multifile webpage (even if it wasn't created via Producer). (Incidentally, because this works for me only for multifile webpages and not single file webpages, this means that audio/video objects are linked to, rather than embedded in, my slide show, just as they are in a PowerPoint Broadcast.) But audio/video objects WON'T play for me when my slide show is saved as a PowerPoint Broadcast. This is so even when the slide show resides on a local drive, so it's not a matter of needing Windows Media Services installed (which is unnecessary for PowerPoint Broadcasts to ten or fewer simultaneous viewers anyway). Does anyone have any idea why the audio/video won't play in my PowerPoint Broadcast?

Doug, Are you trying to ultimately publish your presentation to a web format for playback or are you strictly looking to keep it as a local presentation? Carmen- --- iPresent Presio http://www.ipresent.net Carmen, I'm trying to publish slide shows on the web for playback on demand. That's why I need them to be in the form of Broadcasts. Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? > On Mar 6, 11:58 am, Doug Waters 03/03/08 > <DougWaters030...@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > iPresent Presio > http://www.ipresent.net On Mar 7, 9:48 am, Doug Waters 03/03/08 <DougWaters030...@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > Carmen, > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > iPresent Presio > >http://www.ipresent.net Generally if you want to take your PPT to the web and combine it with audio/video, you'll want to use a tool in addition to PowerPoint. Microsoft makes a product called Producer, although they no longer support it. I recently released a product very similar to Producer - it is called Presio. You can import a PowerPoint presentation along audio or video files, and synch them up. The result is an on-demand web presentation where the audio/video playback in a browser perfectly in synch with the slides. You can see some examples of the types of presentations Presio creates here: http://ipresent.net/Presio/examples.php I think that may be what you are looking for. You can also record audio or video narrations alongside your PowerPoint. Give it a shot it may meet your needs. You download Presio from here: http://ipresent.net/support/presio-download.php Let me know if you have any questions. Carmen- --- iPresent Presio http://www.ipresent.net Carmen, I uploaded my Producer-created version of my presentation, but the audio/video didn't play online, although it runs just fine when I run it on my own computer, so it appears that I have two problems: getting audio/video to play in a PowerPoint Broadcast presentation, and getting it to play in any form of PowerPoint presentation online. Any suggestions? Thanks. > Generally if you want to take your PPT to the web and combine it with > audio/video, you'll want to use a tool in addition to PowerPoint.

Producer actually has a separate user group. There is an expert user over there named Brian who is great at solving Producer related issues. I'd try posting there as well. Also, could you provide a link to your published presentation, maybe I can troubleshoot for you. Usually, if the presentation plays back locally it should work from the web, that is strange. Are there any other details you can provide? If it is a long presentation, Producer can take quite some time pre-loading all the content, which makes the presentation appear non-responsive. That could be the case. More and more folks seem to be experiencing Producer issues. Microsoft no longer supports or updates the product, and there seem to be some issues with certain combinations of Vista, Office 2007, and IE7. If you're interested, you could try Presio - it is very similar to Producer and supports all the latest versions of Windows, Office, and browsers. You can also export to Flash, Quicktime, or MP4 podcast formats in addition to Windows Media. Presio also has a Microsoft Producer Import Wizard for converting Producer projects into Presio projects. I recently did a screncast on how to convert. http://ipresent.net/support/tutorials/import_producer/index.html Presio is a free download available here: http://ipresent.net/support/presio-download.php Give it a shot and let me know if you have any questions.
