Your going to have to do everything before you burn to your CD. When you
burn everything to the CD put it in the root directory of the CD and not a
folder.

Hello Michael,

apologies for taking so long to get back on this but have been a bit bizzie
with 16 kids from Chernobyl for the past few weeks! ;o) all gone home now so
can concentrate on this a bit more. I am sorry, but on doing al ittle more
reading |I think I have not described the problem fully. I could see that
theproblem was linked to the "path" of the file i.e. it sits on the root of
C
or in the folder with the PP |PResentation and of coruse, once moved to CD
that path is invalid. I think I may have failed to give you the full
information because the video file I am playing is in fact playing in
Windows
Media Player within the presentation.

Maybe therei s no answer to this as once the data is burned to CD there is
no way of changing the path, I guess I could try changing it just before
burning the CD?Do you think this would work? or would you suggest an
alternative method of putting the video clip in the presentation? It is an
Mpeg file

look forward to hearing your thoughts


bestest

Hello, thanks for the swift response and yes, I did forget to mention it
is
PP 2003, sorry.

I had tried the "package for CD " option but that had not worked, however,
will work thru all your suggestions and if you dont mind will get back to
you
with results. Thanks again

Hello,

I have to prepare presentations for a Charity and to make them more
interesting wanted toembed some short video clips. I managed to do this
successfully and was linked to the video file either on the desktop or
on
the
root of the C drive. However, if I try to put the presentation on a CD,
it
doesnt seem to matter what I do it ends up with the video not playing
and
whilst I know it I related to the location of the video whatever I do I
cannot get it working.

Ideally I would like to "export" the whole thing into a powerpoint
presentation that I can give to people to view through powerpoint
viewer.

Any help very much apprecaited.
