------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Sep 10 17:54:08 -0700 2005 ------- Pablo R. Rosado Computer: Dell PC OS: Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2 OpenOffice Version: OpenOffice 2.0 Beta 2 Processor: Pentium 4 CPU 1.80 GHz Memory: 52.6 GB, 256 RAM Video: ATI Radeon 9600 Series Computer: Dell PC OS: Linux Suse 9.2 OpenOffice Version: OpenOffice 1.13 Processor: Pentium 4 CPU 1.80 GHz Memory: 52.6 GB, 256 RAM Video: ATI Radeon 9600 Series I tested this in both on WinXp using Openoffice 2.0 Beta 2 and on Suse 9.2 using an older version of OpenOffice (version 1.13). The results were the following: When using WinXp I was able to insert several sound and video files (MP3, Wave, AU, OGG, Windows Media Audio/Video, MIDI, AVI, MPEG, and Real Audio/Video files. Each one varying in file size), including the attach file on this bug report (http://free-lectrons.com/pub/audio/torvalds-says-linux.wav) with no errors by the following methods: First Method: 1.) Open OpenOffice Impress and select Insert from the tool bar. 2.) Chose the sound file (http://free- electrons.com/pub/audio/torvalds-says-linux.wav) Second Method: 1.) Open OpenOffice Impress. 2.) Drag and Drop the file into Impress However I received a format of file in not supported error message when inserting the OGG file and an Insert Text window when I tried to drag and drop the OGG file and Real Audio/Video. Other problems included difficulty in playing large MP3 files (10.3 MB) during the slide show. When using Linux, I repeated the two methods for inserting the sound/video files. Using both methods, I was only able to insert wave files only. I received an Insert Text window when trying to insert all the other audio and video files. It appears that this is an error that only appears in Linux and has not been fixed in the last OpenOffice release. Microsoft PowerPoint on the other hand, is capable of inserting all the sound and video files that I tested on OppenOffice with the exception of Real Audio/Video. If OpenOffice is going to compete as an alternative office software suite, it is important that it should be able to behave similar to PowerPoint if not better under certain conditions. And in the case of being able to insert sound and video into a presentation is an important feature in a slide show program and therefore this bug should be considered important and attempted to be fixed as soon as possible. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
