For a list of supported file types, visit Video and audio file formats supported in PowerPoint. Tip: Some mci error older video file formats may not work properly in Office on a Windows RT PC. If you're using that kind of PC, it's best to use newer media formats like H.264 and Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). Optimize media in your presentation for compatibility When you're ready to share your presentation, do the following: On the File tab, select Info. If the media in your presentation was inserted in a mci error in format that might have compatibility issues when played on another device, the Optimize Compatibility option will appear. If it doesn’t appear, you don’t have compatibility issues and are ready to share. Select Optimize Compatibility. PowerPoint will improve any media that requires optimization. Notes: When the Optimize Compatibility button appears, it provides a summary of resolutions of potential playback issues. It also provides a list of the number of occurrences of media in the presentation. The following are common scenarios that can cause playback issues: If you have linked videos, Optimize for Compatibility will report that you need to embed them. Select View Links to proceed. The dialog box that opens will allow you to embed the videos by selecting Break Link for each link you want to embed. If you have videos that were inserted using an earlier version of PowerPoint, such as PowerPoint 2007, you'll need to upgrade your media file format so that these files will play. Upgrading will automatically update and embed the files in the newest format. Once you have upgraded, you should run Optimize for Compatibility again. To upgrade your media files from an earlier version (such as PowerPoint 2007) to PowerPoint 2010 or later (and embed linked files), on th
easy solution for creation of movie, video clips, animated sequenzes of captures or images. Communicating and presenting your ideas with a single AVI file imported in Power Point is often a good alternative if your message is to visualize a work flow or a process. If you have not yet tried EasyCopy on Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX or AIX, go see for your self, why many technical professionals are using the EasyCopy Movie Creator, which is part of the EasyCopy Gold package. To use a movie in PowerPoint you have 2 options: 1) Insert Movie from File If nothing happens and you do not see any movie, either the needed Codec might not be installed on your system. Mpg4c32.dll ( Microsoft MPEG-4 versions 1,2,3) is part of the Windows Media Codecs Download Package version 8.0 and can no longer be downloaded from http://support.microsoft.com, but codecs may be found else where on the internet. Or the links may be broken. If the link is broken you get the following error message: To avoid broken links when moving your presentation make sure that your .ppt file and your .avi file are located in the same directory. PowerPoint uses the Windows MCI (Media Controller Interface) player for playback of multimedia in PowerPoint and NOT the Windows Media Player (there are rare exceptions). To test your machine set up, you can manually start the MCI player and play your video in the MCI player. If the video fails to play in the MCI player it will not play correctly in PowerPoint. (You can start the MCI player by clicking Start > Run and type "mplayer2.exe" for Windows XP or "mplay32.exe" for Windows 2000, 2003). When your .avi file is inserted in PowerPoint the following size settings have proven to give the best visual result. For a screen resolution of 1280x1024: For normal video projector resolution 1024 x 768 choose 78%. Rule of thumb 80,000/screen resolution width gives you a good scaling percentage. Our experience has shown that it gives better results than setting your resolution after clicking 'Best scale for slide show'. To use the newer Windows Media Player instead of the MCI Player, choose: 2) Insert Object Choose the Windows Media Player from the "More Controls" button Your cursor changes to a crosshair and you can draw a square on your presentation slide. It is important that you draw a square that is the same size as your movie frames or large
