Run a video from a slide

Hi all,

I have a PP2007 presentation in which I want to include some videos. I can include the video into a slide but I am not happy with the quality of the playback with this method.

My preferred method is to use an action button with a hyperlink to an external media player such as Windows Media Player. (My preferred media player would be PowerDVD13 because of the quality of the playback, but WMP seems more likely to do what I want.) I can get WMP to play my video, full-screen if I wish. I want WMP to close down when the video is finished and return to the next PP slide, but I cannot find appropriate commands to achieve this.

Is it possible to do what I want?

Thanks in advance

Robert
