Since you are rendering the movies from Premiere, you can export to a
PowerPoint friendly movie format.

Try saving the files as MPEGs (MPEG I) from Premiere.

If you need hi-res DVD quality video, you might want to save them as
compressed WMVs from within Premiere since MPEG II (regular DVD quality
video) is not too friendly with PowerPoint.

Also, your error message about "vidss:dvsd" means that you are missing a
codec.

You might also want to look at upgrading to PowerPoint 2003 since that's the
version that can interact with Windows Media Player - it also plays
fullscreen videos. You can order a 30-day free trial of PowerPoint 2003

This same file was used to create a project in Premiere and saved flawlessly
directly to DVD from Premiere.

Windows Media Player (the other one) but it then gives me this message when
I try "ClassFactory cannot supply requested codes".
