Having a problem opening a link in a Power Point Presentation.  The link is
suppose to open in Media Player but it won't.  Security issues within Media
Player or Service Pack 2?  It does open in Internet Explorer.  The media
presentation is saved to an external flash (thumb) drive.

Any suggestions?

That sounds so easy. I have ppt 2003 and have not been able to link to a .mov
file until I converted it to an .avi. Now when I link the .avi file is choppy
and no picture. When I'm not in "show" mode I click on the movie button and I
get the WMP encountered an error while downloading. This used to be so easy
in earlier versions of ppt, Windows, etc. HELP

What video codec does the AVI use?  You can use the GSpot Codec tool to get
that information if you don't already know.

Since AVIs can use any of 800 codecs, they aren't really too portable,
sadly, which is kind of why Microsoft steered away from that morass.
