Q. I’m currently working on a Power Point presentation, using a Canon LV-S2 multimedia projector. I’m trying to integrate short mpeg clips into the presentation. To do so, I create a shortcut to the mpeg file so it is projected with Window’s media player. I also tried doing this with other viewers.
The clip shows up on my laptop’s screen, but not on the projected image. I just get a black screen outlined by the viewer’s frame.
I’ve tried doing this with different clips, viewers and projectors. I just can’t get the clip projected through the projector.
Please help me because my deadline is looming dangerously close.
Thank you.
