Impress. OOo 1.1
According to the help files to insert a media clip you go to;
Insert | Object | Video.
The option to insert a video is there at the indicated location, but it is 
greyed out along with sound. I can not get anywhere trying to get video to 
play. I can insert one as a OLE object but all this does is play in a separate 
window, which I must manually start. 
This is absolutely useless to me as I need to be able to insert video clips 
into a endless loop/unattended presentation. Or more to the point I want to be 
able to use my current Micro$oft presentations which contains media clips. 
Come to think of it even the animated GIF's refuse to work on Impress (which 
quite frankly doesn't for me) unless I rebuild the presentation from scratch 
in Impress and then the animated GIF's work.

We are preparing to roll out a dozen POS units which I would dearly love to 
run under OOo but at this stage I'm starting to think I'll have to stay with 
Micro$oft Powerpoint and at this stage Impress doesn't.

The issue has occured under Win98/ME and XP Pro.

Does anyone have ANY idea how to get around this problem in/under Window$ ???? 

Do I need to download a media plug-in ?? If so, which one and where to get 
it....

The ability of OO to include and display videos depends upon the
installed plugins for netscape. That means if you have netscape
installed with the fitting plugin for the videos OO will use it to
display the videos. Then the insert/ object/ video is not greyed out
anymore. Hope this helps.
