powerpoint >> Play movie as full screen

by PJuser » Sat, 13 Mar 2010 01:27:01 GMT

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Is it possible to play movie in full screen mode like you can using the PC platform? I would like to place the movie to the side of the slide, and have it play when the slide is access, and play in full screen mode. I checked all of the options available in the Custom Animation palette, but can't find a place to make the video play in full screen mode.

3. avi movies only play in full screen option (Powerpoint 2003)

I don't see this problem in prior posts.  I insert avi movies into powerpoint 
2003.  The movies will play fine if I choose "play full screen" option, but 
won't play within the square on the powerpoint slide, which I desire.  The 
avi movies work find in windows media player, file pathway is short (<30 
characters), avi file is in same folder as powerpoint presentation, my 
computer appears to have the required codec (MS MPEG4 V2).   With the 
previous powerpoint 97, I was able to play the movie in within the slide of 
the powerpoint presentation, without full screen.  Can anyone help?

5. Movie Insert in Power Point 2002 - choppy play in full screen mode

I am trying to include video clips in a power point presenation (Version 
2002).  In the same presentation, the first movie insert (an mpeg) plays 
fine.  A few slides later, I inserted a wmv movie file, which is choppy and 
does not complete when played in full screen mode.  I have tried a moving all 
files and clips to a short file (C:\ppt\...), reducing hadrware acceleration 
setting and installing PFC Media.  Nothing seems to help.  Any suggestions?

7. ceratin avi's will not play in ppt unless played in full screen mo

I am using Windows XP professional and PowerPoint 2003. With the 
implementation of PowerPoint 2003, some avi files that we have successfully 
used in previous versions of PowerPoint will not play, unless you right mouse 
click on the avi in PowerPoint, Edit Movie Object, and check on "Zoom to Full 
Screen". Then the avio plays full screen, but that's the only way.
When examining the properties of avi's that WILL play normally in PowerPoint 
they show either Cinepak Codec or MS-CRAM under video compression.
The ones that do not play normally have no video compression listed under 
properties.
There is a workaround that I have found that works on some machines but not 
others.
By opening the avi in Windows media player go to Tools, Options, 
Performance, and then click on the Advanced button. Under Video Acceleration, 
Un-check "Use video mixing renederer." This worked on two other machines 
where I work, but would not work on my machine.
Could it be a driver issue? Or possibly a codec issue?
