Video files are not shown in powerpoint 2007

Hello, I recently held a presentation using the PowerPoint 2007 software. I had inserted a video file (.avi) captured from an unregistered Hypercam2.

It worked well on my computer, but when i plugged it in to the large broadcaster we have at school (like the ones in a cinema), then the video file just turned black when i tried to play it!

We heard the sound of the file, but no video were shown. i had inserted the .avi file to microsoft movie maker and publised it into a movie file ( .avi i think)

Could this be a technical problem with the broadcaster, or can i convert the video file into something that can be shown? (the video worked on the large screen when playing it i WMovie maker)

What should i do to prevent this happening again?

Configuration: Windows Vista
Internet Explorer 7.0

Btw, I used the same laptop while working and while holding the presantation, and the video files were in the same folders, so that is not the problem ;)

Hello Sir.

I took the liberty to find a solution to your problem as I was trying to embedd an avi into Powerpoint 2007. Came to find out that AVI files donīt work on Powerpoint 2007 so hereīs what I did: I converted the AVI file into an MPEG and reloaded it, after that it worked out just fine.

Download a FREE AVI to MPEG software application. I use Free FLV to AVI to MPEG converter version 1.6.

Good Luck.

Realwareman!
