Run a video file from a button

[RobertWA]

Hi all,



I am using PowerPoint 2007. I want to include some videos into my presentation but I am disappoined in the quality of the movie when I include it onto a slide.

I thought that I would get better quality playback if I could use a button on a slide to open my media player to play the video.

I tried to use

C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD13\PowerDVD13.exe "C:\Users\Robert\My Videos\Alaska\Bear.avi"

but it doesn't work.

Is it possible to achieve what I want?

Thanks in advance

Robert
