Video problems

[John Nuttall]

Using PP2003, I have inserted a large AVI (44Mb) -it runs fine on the
originating machine - and used the Collect to CD facility - I have checked
the contents and the AVI is there. Transporting the CD to a remote machine -
the video doesn't play, but the sound from it does!
Any suggestions before I go back to a wax slate, plz?

It sounds like the AVI is recorded with a codec that isn't installed on the
target machine. See

skinny on multimedia in PowerPoint. Not a simple subject. <G>

Many thanks - it was the DivX codec that was missing - downloaded and
installed it, and it works fine.
Appreciate your help!

Make sure you have a the right Codec on the remote

machine to decode the video. Use the same one tha tyou
have on the originating machine.
