I'm running under Linux, and used ffmpeg to convert from .mov to .avi.
The resulting file is much smaller, but shows up OK with mediaPlayer.
However, when I try to insert it into my Impress file I still get
The format of the selected file is not supported.
I have extracted the following details of the file:
CRM01.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 1280 x 720, 30.00 fps, video:
FFMpeg MPEG-4, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 1 or 2 (stereo, 16000 Hz)
Any suggestions as to where I go from here?
Bill
