MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008videos dont play properly in power point
I made some short clips and saved them to avi (I forget which codec, its on a different computer). I read that a good test if it is "power point compatible" is to open it with media player classic (start -> run -> mplayer2 (with windows XP)). It opened and played with no problems. The thing is, when I add it to a presentation, the video plays (ie doesn't complain about a missing codec), but it is has big black squares covering most of it!! I have a very fast computer and a very good video card so I can't imagine it has anything to do with the hardware (I also run lots of video/photo editing software with no problems)? 1) what is the proper/best codec to use? 2) why would it do this ? (since I don't think it even is a codec thing) Any input would be great! Thanks, Dave You might want to go here and look at PFCPro http://www.playsforcertain.com/ there is a two week trial period for this great software, which I believe will fix your problem.

Is there any other way to make this work better? > You might want to go here and look at PFCPro http://www.playsforcertain.com/ there is a two week trial period for this great software, which I believe will fix your problem. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Dave Reading this tutorial may help.
