Description: I'm working on a presentation in Impress and noticed that when I save the presentation as a Powerpoint (.pptx) the video files that I've added are not included in the presentation. When I re-open the pptx file in Impress it has no reference to the video (not even a placeholder). I've also tried running the conversion from the command line with "--convert-to pptx" and after unzipping and inspecting the created slides I don't see any reference to a video. The videos are MPEG-4 (.mp4) that I created with ffmpeg. One of the videos is 2.1MB, the other is 725KB. I'm on PopOS (basically Ubuntu) with KDE and have LibreOffice 6.2.7.1 20(Build:1). Note the videos are stored fine in .odp format.

Create new Impress presentation. 2. Add video file 3. Save as .pptx 4. Close and reopen .pptx and note missing video Actual Results: No videos saved to presentation Expected Results: Videos stay in the presentation and get saved/exported to the .pptx format.

Well now I can't get Impress (really gstreamer) to play my .mp4 videos at all (says I'm missing the quicktime plugin but I have all plugin packages installed). So although my presentation was a simple slide with a .mp4 video added, I'm not sure I should add it until I can get gstreamer to play the video.

I can repro with an MPEG-4 (Xvid) .avi with PPTX, but not PPT.

The commits toward bug 106867 should have fixed this, but now when I test while being checked out on the last commit, even the original test video disappears for me! Testing is done on Windows. I can otherwise reproduce all the way to 4.4.7. Testers can use attachment 132275 [details] as the video for testing (from bug 106867)
I can reproduce this issue since https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=da4a5fa517a7379da84bf7d514eafe2c721246d3, when GStreamer version was bumped to 1.0 and I could then import the video in Impress
OTOH, is it possible to create such a file with MSO Powerpoint ? I've just tried with MSO 2010 and it fails to import attachment 132275 [details]

Created attachment 156504 [details] Test video embedded into PowerPoint presentation New PowerPoint presentation created, inserted the test video and saved as pptx. Reopened this in PowerPoint and the video shows fine. Version: Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac, version 16.32 (19120802).
FWIW, LibreOffice Version: 6.3.3.2 cannot play the video in the file I just uploaded (using MacOS Catalina). Build ID: a64200df03143b798afd1ec74a12ab50359878ed CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx; Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
This is interesting: if I create a blank document, import the video file and the I save the document as PPTX, the issue is reproduced. OTOH, if I open chris' attachment created with Office 365 on Mac and save it as PPTX again, the new document keeps the video
This has just happened to me in 6.0.7.3 I can embed save and load video in ODP format but when I save in pptx or ppt the video vanishes. In pptx there are no placeholders or anything. In ppt there are placeholders but no video. Recently I've had no problems until just now - it's quite annoying.
Bug reproducible in both windows and linux versions of LO 7 and 6 windows 8.1 LO version 7.0.2.2 (x64) Ubuntu 18.04 LO version 7.0.1 and dev 7.1 alpha and also 6.something can't remember exactly (likely 6.4). linking video also fails Exporting to PPTX (every version above old PPT) will remove any user visible trace of the video (file size also smaller than ODP = video is gone) while exporting to PPT a video box is visible but the video isn't in the file (easily noticed by file size) and also when linked won't fetch it correctly/play. Tried with MPG, WMV and MP4 always same result. sidenote/bug: With MP4 while importing the file to LO Impress in LO 7.0.2.2 (x64) in windows 8.1 there's this error: "The format of the selected file is not supported." . But importing .MPG works, yet exporting to PPTX or PPT will result in this bug.

Created attachment 179208 [details] attachment 179207 [details] in PP and attachment 17920 in Impress Impress on Windows does not play the video in odp, but saves a correct PPTX.
Actually, since bug 53970 is WIP, ODP attachment 179207 [details] opens and plays in LO while it just opens in MSO and needs a manual click to start play, but that seems usual in MSO. Also MSO PPTX attachment 156504 [details] resaved well. So this bug seems duplicate of 53970 for PPTX. PPT will need another clear bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 53970 ***
The attached video file stay in the presentation like a preview image in Impress, but isn't playable like PowerPoint after save as .pptx. LibreOffice doesn't support this file format playable showing. The file export/import work correctly, so the bug fixed. Note: Under Windows OS I can't atteched an mp4 file because this file format isn't supported.
