Movie files are converted to images #3

Hi there, Thanks so much for putting this script together, it was exactly what I have been looking for. Having woes distributing presentations between cross platform users. The challenge I am having is that the embdedded videos are being converted to images. Once I have created the Presentation, I am running compress images on all of the images and then completing the compress media in PowerPoint 2013 and converting to Internet Streaming quality. I run the PPT Rasteriser to then rasterise any text which works great but when I play the file I discover that the videos are all single slides. Any idea?

Cheers Ben

I have no idea right now. All media should be copied from the original presentation. See https://github.com/utapyngo/pptrasterizer/blob/master/ppt_rasterize.ps1#L43

I just created some test files using sample WMVs and sample MOVs from the internet. Just two page test presentation files. I thought it may have been something to do with a codec or the presentation in use but every time I have tested so far it always creates an image in place of the video file.

Just a quick question - have you successfully processed a presentation using the rasterise script that did have video files in it? Thanks! Ben

You are right. I have not. Movies are converted to pictures indeed. Thank you for opening this issue. Though I don't know how to fix it. When I copy and paste movie manually, it is pasted as a video, not as an image.
