1: My laptop has the newer wide-screen format, as does my projector. How do I
pursuade Impress to use this? At present, it is using the old 4:3 format and
padding out the sides with black bars. As my presentation includes some wide-
screen format images, these end up with wasted space all round!
2: I want to include some movie clips in my talk. My video camera produces
.mov files: 1280x720 pixels, MJPEG format PCM sound. When I try to insert
(using Insert->Movie and Sound or Tools->Media Player) it says that this
format is not supported. I'm not (yet) proficient in video formats but am
willing to have a go at converting, but can't find anything that tells me
which formats are supported. I'm running 3.2.0 at present, but I'm thinking
of moving to 3.3 pre-release if that's reasonably stable.
Many thanks..,

I have a computer and projector with 16x10 format. In Impress I went to
Format>Page and set the width to 11.2 in. and the height to 7 in. If
you have a newer 16x9 computer and projector, you will need to adjust
those numbers.
You will need to convert the .mov file to .avi. Use something such as
RAD Video Tools to make the conversion. If you want to change the size
of the video on the slide, go to View>Toolbars>Media Playback. You can
use the zoom function to change the size of the video. If you just drag
a corner of the video frame to change size, it only changes the size of
the box that the video appears in.
