Description mfwyatt75 2022-05-31 12:45:42 UTC
Description:
Hi all,
I’m using LO 7.2.7 on Windows 11, but this first happened with LO 7.6.2. I’m trying to embed some videos into a presentation. MP4s don’t work, but AVI & WMV do. However, when I close and reopen the presentation the video is missing and I just have a blank slide. Same if I link the video file. How can I stop this from happening as I need to close the file to share with colleagues, put it on a flash drive for in-person meetings etc.?
Thanks, M

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert a compatible video (e.g. AVI) into slide, as per LO instructions.
2. Video plays fine in slide and during presentation/slide show mode.
3. Close and reopen the Impress file (saved as MS 365 .pptx).

Actual Results:
When the file is reopened, the slide that did contain a video is now blank (other features like textboxes remain).

Expected Results:
The videos should be embedded, so that when I reopen the file they are still ther. I need to be able to share files with colleagues, so that when they open them it's in the same state and when I closed it.


Reproducible: Always

Do you have codecs such as LAV Filters installed: https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases
Is this happening with any video file? Like something available on the web that you could point to.

No problem here.
