Powerpoint viewer not playing video
Using PP2007 I made a presentation that includes a short video clip (wmv). It plays properly on the machine where I created it, the clip is in the same folder as the presentation file, from where I linked the two. It's set to autoplay.
When I try to play the presentation on a different machine that lacks PP2007 but includes the viewer 2007, both files in the same folder, the presentation works but the video clip does not play. Its starting frame appears on the slide but the video doesn't play and there are no starting controls. Also tried embedding Media Player using the developer tools. No go here too; clicking on the video controls in the viewer slide just advances to the next slide. How can I get a machine that lacks Office to play the PP presentation properly?

The viewer does not support ActivX controls so using developer tools will not work. It should play the video though is it is linked and created in 2007. It will not if it was created in 2010 / 2013 and is embedded.. Try putting the pptx and the video in the same folder as the viewer (pptview.exe) and see if it works with a shorter link path.
You could also use the create CD command in 2007. The 2010 viewer will always do a better job but must be installed. When you post in several forums (cross post) can you please mention this . People might be working on a solution for you when it has already been solved elsewhere. Last edited by JohnWilson; 12-21-2014 at 10:14 AM. |
