Video files are not shown in powerpoint 2007

[jenny54]

Hello, I recently held a presentation using the PowerPoint 200
software. I had inserted a video file (.avi) captured from a
unregistered Hypercam2.

It worked well on my computer, but when i plugged it in to the larg
broadcaster we have at school (like the ones in a cinema), then th
video file just turned black when i tried to play it!

We heard the sound of the file, but no video were shown. i had inserte
the .avi file to microsoft movie maker and publised it into a movie fil
( .avi i think)

Could this be a technical problem with the broadcaster, or can
convert the video file into something that can be shown? (the vide
worked on the large screen when playing it i WMovie maker)

What should i do to prevent this happening again?
