PowerPoint 2007: WindowsMediaPlayer control plays video in fast forward on some computers

Hello,

I inserted videos into a PowerPoint 2007 presentation using the WindowsMediaPlayer control. When I present the presentation on some computers, the videos play in fast forward and I can not get them to play at a normal speed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help,

Drew

Is there a reason you're using the control and not just using Insert | Movies and Sounds | Movie from File?

I am using VBA in the presentation and inserted videos that way will not start with my code. I need to use the WMP  control.

Thanks,

I followed Echo_S's steps and I narrowed the problem to the codec. I reencoded the video and it worked.

Thank you all for your help.
