Re: [Avid-L2] wmv issues

Not sure if DIVX will play inside PPT. Has someone tried it? I created an m4v mpeg4 file and wrote a quick asx file for it. When I open the asx file, the m4v file then plays in Windows Media player, but the same file will not work in PPT. I can import the asx, but once I'm viewing the slide show, nothing plays. If I try to import the m4v file, I get an unsupported file message. For supported formats in PPT, they list all variations of mpeg 1 and 2.

Probably, but I've never tried before.
If your client already has DIVX on their machines and you're happy to use it
too, then why not? If they don't already have the DIVX decoder installed
It's not something that I would ever recommend to a client and I'd only use
it if they specifically asked for it.
Don't really see it as professional and I'd hate to be responsible for it
taking over their machine and bugging them with all the update and upgrade
reminder crap it comes with.
