Video crashes power point

[Toly]

I created presentation with some videos in it. It'a standard MPG-2 files. It
worked just fine on my computer, but when I tried to move to my laptop it
crashes PowerPoint when I try to open thouse slides. I reinstalled OS and
Office on that laptop and it still doing same things. I even tryed to create
presentaion with videos only on laptop. It crashes. But video files play in
media played with no problem by itself. Any suggestions?

Unless you created the file, you don't know that. Mpeg-2 has a defined set
of rules that PPT expects to see followed. Make certain that it does.

What OS and version of PPT are you running on these machines?

Yes, I did create that file myself. It is a standard SVCD format - 480x480,
MPG-2, 23fps.

What OS and version of PPT are you running on these machines?

Windows XP and Office 2003.

I'd probably opt for MPEG1 instead.

But check http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/multimedia.htm
for how to test your files for playback in PPT (section 3). And then see
http://www.echosvoice.com/tshoot_video2.htm for some other thoughts. It
could be that the video editing software on your laptop is conflicting.

its most likely the mpeg2 codec u have installed or maybe not installed on
that computer
