I have made myself a script that hacks the Open Office Presentation file and removed the embedded videos, and corrects the link to them so that the presentation works. It works for me. I hope it helps you. Beware, and test it though before trusting it.
What you need to do is install the attached script into the ~/.gnome2 /nautilus-scripts folder and mark it as an executable. Then you can right click on your buggy Presentation file (after you have closed it from Open Office). It will ask you where you want the fixed file to go, and then it lets rip. It will create a media folder alongside the presentation file. ** Attachment added: "Nautilus Script file" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/660807/+attachment/1743831/+files/Fix%20Presentation%20Video -- Impress doesn't play videos in Ubuntu 10.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
