presenting a movie

[David Vinson]

Hi Meltem,

Sorry to say that I'm afraid your best course of action is to try 
different video formats.
If you run the Codec Config tool on your problematic video this may help 
to identify what the problem is.

You might also find some useful information in this thread from July:

good luck,
david
