Why a cinepak movie flicks in PPT, but plays normally in media pla

Jay · Apr 26, 2006

Hi,

I inserted a cinepak movie generated by MATLAB 6.5. The movie can play
normally in media player, but keep flicking when I insert it in a PPT file?

Here is the link to the movie file I used:

Cinepak is a very old codec and was never what anyone would have called
great. You best bet is to encode the video with a newer codec. For an
explanation of this read the tutorial I placed on the web.

Thanks, Austin!

I tried other codecs, but none of them has better quality for drawing lines
on videos.
I just wondered why this problem doesn't exist in PowerPoint XP, but in
PowerPoint 2003.

Hard to say what is happening here Jay. Have you considered giving PFCMedia
a try? It's a free download from www.pfcmedia.com
