Thank you so much guys for your inputs.
1) I tried moving the file to a shorter path. It didn't work.
2) And the video is actually mpeg 1 and i tried .wmv too. With wmv
powerpoint hangs if i try to insert the video.
Just don't know what the problem is. But i really wanna have the video
running in the presentation and not in a player. So is there a fix for this.
I really appreciate your inputs again.
Thanks,
Naveen
