When you play a QuickTime movie from a compact disc in a PowerPoint slide show, it may play with a decreased frame rate, and the sound may drop out intermittently. This can occur even if the movie plays properly within slide view.

Copy the QuickTime movie from the compact disc to the hard disk and then follow these steps to delete the link from PowerPoint to the QuickTime movie on the compact disc and re-establish it to the QuickTime movie on the hard disk:


 * 1) After you copy the QuickTime move to the hard disk, open the presentation that contains the QuickTime movie.
 * 2) On the View menu, click Slide View and view the slide on which the QuickTime movie is placed.
 * 3) Click the QuickTime movie object once to select it, and then click Cut on the Edit menu.
 * 4) On the Insert menu, point to Movies And Sounds and then click Movie From File. If you are using PowerPoint 4.0, click Movie on the Insert menu.
 * 5) Select the QuickTime movie on the hard disk and ten click Insert.

This procedure ensures that the movie will play from the hard disk rather than the compact disc.
