Playing sounds and movies
Hello,
Recently I have attented your course and already got questions!!
I have downloaded a clip (fom Youtube) which is in Windows Media Audio/Video playlist Format. Its size is 319 bytes. When I'm trying to insert it into my PPT Presentation, it inserts ONLY the sound icon and doesnt play the moveie at all! The only thing that pops out is the following: 'The MCI device you are using does not support the specified command'. WHy is that and how can I acctualy play the movie in my presentation?
Thanks in advance,
Anna

RE: Playing sounds and movies
Hi Anna
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. What I would suggest in this instance is just linking to the clip on the YouTube site from the PowerPoint presentation.
You can do this by creating a hyperlink - the hyperlink can be text, an action button or an object/picture. Select what you want the hyperlink to be attached to, right-click and choose the Hyperlink option and link to the web address of the clip.
I hope this is ok.
Amanda
