Hi all,

I need to give a presentation which will include some videos. Currently
they're avi files, but I'm just as happy to make them mpeg or whatever.

I've tried inserting them in various tools, with varying levels of
success:

* On Ubuntu (Hoary) it crashes openoffice (stable version, whatever's in
Hoary).

* On Mandrake it inserts the video but won't play it (I get a white box
in the middle of the slide) (1.1.4 I think. The current version in
cooker)

* On Mandrake with the 100 build of the 2beta version, it pops up a
dialog telling me "The format of the selected file is not
supported." (and I've tried with quite a few different file formats).

* I just can't find the relevant option in the KOffice presenter thing.

Can someone point me at a tool that will do what I want? Will MagicPoint
display video files? Easily? What other options do I have?

Many thanks,

James.
