PowerPoint mp4 videos turn green

I am embedding mp4 videos within my Powerpoint 10. They are 20 seconds long.


They play the audio, but the screen is green. I have shut down and rebooted the computer, and it still occurs.

Any ideas?

thanks!

WMV fixed it. thanks!
Glad to hear it.

One thing you may need to be aware of -- WMV won't play on a Mac unless the recipient installs a utility such as Flip for Mac. MP4 is best for cross-platform, but if you just need to get it to play on your system then WMV is good.
will a Mac support an AVI?
I don't think so.

If you need the file playable on a Mac, then you'll want to stick with the MP4. I really think your MP4s probably just need to be re-exported using something like iSkySoft so they use a common codec.
