nope - they don't tell me what I need. the the files are mpg1 and quicktime wont play them during the show which it should. i've downloaded Flip4mac for wmv files - what do I need for mpg1?

I've googled everything but I can't find what codecs etc I actually need.

thanks

I think QuickTime should be able to handle mpg1, and QuickTime is what
PowerPoint uses for media objects.

Can you play the mpeg in QuickTime (outisde of PowerPoint)?
