I have Lotus ScreenCam and have recorded the movies from my desktop, but when I try to insert them into my PowerPoint presentation nothing happens. Any ideas? Software Support for Sage Mas90, Macola, Crystal Reports, Goldmine and MS Office
 
OK at least I am now getting an error message. When I try to insert the movie I am getting the message - "Powerpoint couldn't insert a movie from the selected file. Either the file is non-standard or quicktime in not installed properly."

More ideas? How do I install quicktime? Is it a component of MS Office?

Did you try the Technet article? You need to copy everything between the URL markers and paste into your browser address bar.

If you followed that, you will have added a bunch of lines to your win.ini (or was that system.ini? or both? I forget.). dreamboat@nni.com

Yes I looked at both articles. I dont even begin to understand your reply. I am not using a browser to my knowledge, I am using MS Powerpoint. I didn't see anything that told me to add lines to a .ini file. I don't want a solution that requires me to manually change a .ini file unless that is my ONLY option.

I just want to click on insert, movie from file, and insert the movie file. This works with a couple of .avis I have but not with anything I have recorded with ScreenCam, even if I save it as a .avi file. Ideas? Software Support for Sage Mas90, Macola, Crystal Reports, Goldmine and MS Office
