using video in powerpoint presentation

[jinkcee]

I did a slide presentation for our church and I put a video inset on one of
the pages. When i transferred it to our church computer it would not play.
OUr church computer only has a viewer but its worked with other slides. This
is the first time i tried a video in the slide. It wouldn't work it just
showed the first screen of the video. Anyone know what could be the problem?
thanks

Hi

Video can only be linked (not embedded) so you have to make sure you take
the video file as well as the ppt file. Package for cd is the easiest way to
do this. For more details:
Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation
