Re: Error initializing MCI
Powerpoint 2007 and earlier does not recognize many mpg 2 video files. MCI
is Media Control Interface.
You need to use the Hyperlink function to point to the filename and let
Player play it, or buy a third party add in.
It is stupid, but this has been going on since Powerpoint added the movie
function.
The other option is to convert to mpeg1 or .wmv.
