Power Point

I made a large 100+M presentation. I saved it on a jump drive and planned to
burn it. I made a folder and in the folder put a folder for images, another
for audio, and another for video. All are linked to the folders saved on the
jump drive. When I move the folder, save it on my systems drive, or plug the
jump drive into another computer some part or parts are missing. Most of the
time I can relocate the links, however it will still only play on that
computer. I checked 2x and had someone else check-all links are to the
folders in the jump drive. I need to burn this??

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the only way to ensure complete
portability is to put all linked files in the SAME folder as the
presentation, THEN insert them in your presentation.

I made sure all pics, video and audio were in the same folder as the power
point. I copied it on my dive four times, each time I lost a few links,
always the video, somtimes an audio. I then copied it back to a jump drive
and got all but the video. I remedied that then tried to burn a CD, 4x, it
failed each time. I tried the PP on five computers running off the jump
drive. 3 it worked fine, one gave me a "encod." problem but it proceeded when
I clicked "continue". Feeling as though I had the pp at least working off a
jump drive and my computer's drive I came home and tried it in my home
computer. All worked but the videos were white and produced only sound.

This is a project I worked with involving kids to present to there grade.
The videos (and others parts) were completed on a variety of machines and
brought toether. The videos seem to be the biggest problem. I had to copy
three times on one of the jump drives to get one. They are also the reason
the CD copying quits.

I am out of confidence. I Spent last night and all day today preparing
another. I did it all on the HHD and saved. When I tried to burn the CD it
failed the same as the last. Video seems to be where it fails. I used Movie
Maker. I then saved it to a jump drive. HHD and Jump run the program well on
the school's computers but I cannot copy to CD or play it at home-video does
not play. After this I give up!
