mp3 files on the web
I've got a good running pps saved to a website. It has animation and sound and seems to run great. But it finally dawned on me that the show was accessing the mp3 files from my hard drive, not the web files.
Is there anyway I can get this file to access these mp3 files on the web? All the sound files are loaded in the same public_htm folder, but it's looking for files in another location. I tried to point to these sounds with an http:/.... location, but PP refuses. I went through the painstaking process of redoing the whole thing in MS Producer, but it won' even run up there. Running show from any other PC just delivers a mute show with the transition timing all screwed up. Thanks. |

mp3 files on the web
When the presentation is played from the web, the .ppt or .pps file is
downloaded to the user's temporary internet files folder and run from there. The sound files don't get downloaded, so they go missing. Among the work arounds a 1. If you use WAV files and ensure that they are embedded, the sound will play. The down side is that WAV files tend to be very large. 2. If you zip the presentation and the sound files into a single zip archive, they will stay together. The down side to that is that users will have to download and unzip the file totheir hard drive and then open it in PowerPoint. -- Sonia, MS PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun CD software, templates, and tutorials http://www.soniacoleman.com/ "tomwalshco" wrote in message ...

mp3 files on the web
Thanks for your quick answer to my question about mp3 files on the web. I guess my questions back would be - how do I embed wav files into the presentation? and will wav files hurt the speed or viewer performance? Thanks again...

mp3 files on the web
WAV files are the only media files that *can* be embedded. As long as their
size doesn't exceed the limit that you set in Tools Options General, they will be embedded. After thinking more about it, however, you probably don't want to use that work around. An MP3 of 3 MB will probably convert to a WAV of 30 MB. That makes downloading the presentation from the web impractical for all but the hopelessly patient souls.
