Hi guys,

I'm doing a powerpoint thing for work and i'm having a few problems, its a few slides of info, then 7/8 slides with vidios on.

Its set to run on a loop all day and i've set the timing manualy to change after each video ends but it keeps getting halfway through the first vid and jumping back to the start. the videos are 15 mins each but it'll only play 4 mins of the first one then stops?

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

Isn't there anyway that powerpoint can move to the next slide when each video finishes? Some sort of trigger?

What version PowerPoint?
Embedded video or hyperlink?
You're sure the timing settings are ok?
What happens if you remove all your timing settings and just let it play through?

2007, embedded and i think they are ok they work fine until it get to the vids! if i take the timings out it just sits there until you click!

Might look into the trigger at the end of the vids. although it would still need timings for the slides without video!

If anyone is interested i fixed the problem.

just put a 3/4 second timer on the slide with the video and i'll stay on that slide until the video is finished then move to the next one. woohoo!
