Sorry I'm posting this one twice. I think I posted it in the Windows forum and that may have not been correct.
How to make a hyperlink to a movie in Windows Media Player?
I have a movie in the computer's DVD player. Windows Media Player 11 is open but it's not currently playing the movie.
I want to make a hyperlink in PowerPoint that will make WMP start playing the movie at a specific point, like a bookmark.
Can this be done? if it cannot be done with media Player, is there another player you would recommend?
I'm on Win XP SP3, Office 2003 SP3, Win Media player 11.
I found I can do Insert | Object | Windows Media Player. I can specify to play from the DVD Player but I cannot set the precise point in the movie that I want to play. I right click the inserted object, go to properties, double click the Custom property, go to Advanced tab. I see two properties that should do what I want, Current position and Current Marker. I enter 500.000 for Current Position and 2 for Current marker. I believe it should start 500 seconds into chapter two. But, it doesn't; it always wants to start atthe beginning with the FBI warnings. When I go back to check the settings, the numbers I entered in those two fields have been reset back to zero.
Any ideas?
