Powerpoint and MPEG2

Regarding the MPEG2 playing at 1/2 screen.

I simply changed the Windows Media Player to play in 'Maximized' window instead of 'Normal Window'.

This can be accessed through the properties of the Windows Media Player.

Hope it helps.

Hello every one.

Solution is simple. This is happening due to the absence of MPEG2 codecs which support MS programs.

Easy option is to download and install any free MPEG2 codecs. I tried “stinky’s mpeg-2 codec v1.2.0.79” and it did the job. Now mpg2 movies work smoothly in Powerpoint 2003

download link : (it’s a freeware, simple to install)
