QuickTime (MPEG-4) will not repeat (loop)

[perrycom]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

I tried setting it to loop inside QuickTime - then imported into PPT - no luck when playing in PPT.

Then I tried to set it (a non-looping movie) to Repeat inside PPT - still no luck.

Plays once - that's it! Any help out there?
Thanks.

Thank you for your report. May I ask you more information to repro this
issue?
- How long (how big?) is the movie?
- When you check the option "Loop Until Stopped" in the Movie panel in the
Formatting Palette, do you check other options in the same panel?
- Does the movie loop when you running SlideShow?
- Does the movie loop when you click Play button or double click in normal
view?

Thank you.

Well, now it's working! I saved a Keynote presentation as a QuickTime movie (this time using the default compression H.264 rather than MPEG-4).

Imported Movie from File
Selected "On Click" rather than Play Automatically
Went to Custom Animation
Selected Add Media Effect Icon
Selected Play > With Previous
Under Timing > Repeat Until Next Click
Under Media Options > Stop Playing > After Current Slide > Hide while not playing

I tried all of this before - only difference is the compression format of the movie (as described above)

Movie is 17.4MB - :33 in length
Thank you!
