Thanks.

I might give it a go.

I've done this for years now, since Powerpoint different versions played tricks 
on me displaying black characters on black background.

Earlier this week, I produced a presentation with embedded video for use in a 
school classroom (NSW Department of Education, in case anyone has  personal 
knowledge of their set-up). I am using Libre Office 5.3 and Ubuntu 17.04.


I checked that the presentation worked, including the video. I saved it in .ppt format 
onto a USB stick with the video file, "just in case". This turned out to be a 
good thing.


The classroom has an old version of MS Office (2010, I think I saw), a 
projector and a smart board. I don't know what version of Windows they are 
running.


When I ran the presentation, everything went as expected. Touching the white 
board progressed the slides as expected. However I couldn't get the video to 
work from within the presentation, and had to run it from the media player.


It's not a big problem, and I can work around it, but when you have a classroom 
of Year 4 and 5 kids, you don't want to get too distracted by the technology.


Any ideas about how to make it work? Keep in mind that I have no access to 
their computer outside of my lesson time.


Thanks.
