MPEG-2 in PowerPoint
Media Player (MP) as opposed to Windows Media Player(WMP)
is the program that PPt hands off the MPEG duties to. So far I can only get low res MPEG-4 videos to work. I realise there may be Codecs involved, however my WMP does play my MPEG files and I wondered that as getting these files to play in MP is such a chore is there an easy way to figure out the codecs or changing PPt's mind and using another program such as WMP or other player. In my case (PPt 2000) windows XPh 2004, all other players play my MPEG files just fine. Only the legacy MP (mplay32.exe) windows player won't play the file, thus neither will PPt.

MPEG-2 in PowerPoint
Hi Captn
I'm getting confused. Are you trying to use MPEG2 or MPEG4 files? Getting MPEG2 files to play well in PowerPoint is easy with a third party decoder such as the one at www.elecard.com MPEG4 is a different bag of monkeys. "CaptnRon" wrote in message ...

Yes, MPEG 2 is the video format for DVD. There are rules about size and
resolution but your authoring program will take care of that. MPEG 4 is a type of quicktime or AVI video that can make high quality video at small file sizes but is the cause of much confusion due to lots of slight variations of the format (DiVX, mp4 etc.) wrote in message ...

MPEG-2 in PowerPoint
Hi Adam, Thanx for the link, I will try it.
I use an Intervideo card and software to convert VHS/SVHS/TV files to MPEG 1,2, or 4. I want to insert multiple short MPEG files into a PPt presentation at high quality. Currently only MPEG4 seems to work but at a low res (Bit rate). CaptnRon in Kiwicountry -----Original Message----- Hi Captn I'm getting confused. Are you trying to use MPEG2 or MPEG4 files?
