I've tried this (with .MID, of course...) as well.
No luck at all... One would have to try all formats to see if this 'legend'
has any leggs...
It would be nice if someone who is familiar with the 'posting' on
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00155.htm [bottom of page] would shed some
light on this...
The sense I get after attempting to get familiar with this is that we are
'up the creek without a paddle' and no specific workaround is being proposed
by any of the active and/or passive 'observers' on this board...
The recommendation that is being made to post a vocal voice with MS about
this may suggest that we are fighting 'city hall', again...
Obviously, I am rather disappointed with this...

P.S. I just run into a (new) problem with Photo Story 3.0 (A real nice
application) that generates very fine "video" out of images, music and
narrated voice (would be interesting to see if this can be used as a
'packager' for PPT for bulk distribution...). The problem is:
(must operate within Windows XP, and Media Player 10 for the program to
install)
After generating a 'movie', sending it as an e-mail (which is a neat feature
of this application) [created as a .WMV file format] it will not run on any
media players that are installed on a Windows 2000 system. Even MS media
Player 9.0 (the latest version available for Windows 2000; Media Player 10
will not install on Windows 2000 !!!) will not run and it generates an error
message ["Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required
video codec is not installed on your computer"]. I was not able to find what
codec is missing and Windows update for Media Player tells me that there are
no further updates for this player...
Anyone with clues on the issue of video codecs?...
It seems that I create new problems daily, lately...
