Hello I have search the forum and tried some of the surgested fixes without success. What i want to archive is a looped presentation using an X number of slides containing text, pictures and one video displayed on a HD TV using a laptop. Windows 7 64bit Microsoft office 2010 mp4 video. 5.05 minutes, also tried the video as .mov, .wmp. .avi I was getting the 64bit codec error when trying to insert/link the video as .avi, an install of K-Lite codec pack fixed the error allowing me to insert/link the video in the slide. Example - I create a presentation with three slides inserting the video to slide two, I click on the video which brings up the play tab and select play automaticaly, then set the transition to advance after X time for slides one and three, slide two I have tried setting the advance to zero, 2 seconds and plenty after, the time length of the video, and it will play the video just not advance past the video slide. If I set the video to play when clicked it doesn't play the video, then advances to slide three and loops. Any help would be great, thanks. Russ

Hello

All thank you for looking at my issue. I have been trying to sort this for over two weeks now and I have identified the video file as the issue, and that being the codec use when the video was first created.

I have recoded the video and changed it to other file types and tried powerpoint 2007, 2010 and 2016 and I can say with confidence the issue is not me.

I have found a fix, instead of altering the video file, I used LibreOffice and it worked, I had to recreate the presentation in LibreOffice and play with the advance timing and it plays the presentation and advances past the video slide and loops it all.
