* PowerPoint 2007 SP2<br />
* wmv movie file created with Windows Movie Maker<br />
* movie file and pptx file in same folder<br />
<br />
I insert the movie into a blank slide.<br />
I can double click the movie in the slide editor (normal view) and the movie will play.<br />
I start the slide show<br />
When the movie slide appears, it will not start (just a black box - the first frame)<br />
It doesn't matter if I set the movie to start automatically or start by clicking<br />
<br />
What the heck?? #*@#$'n Microsoft!

Digital audio is technology that can be used to record, store, generate, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signals encoded in digital form. Following significant advances in technology, digital rapidly replaced analog audio technology in most areas. Digital audio systems may include compression, storage, processing and transmission components. It is important to distinguish between the audio coding format, the codec performing the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data, and the container file. Common file formats include .wav, .aiff, .au, .m4a, .mp3, .wma, .ra and .raw.

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.
