[libreoffice-users] Re: Videos (mpeg etc) in Impress

Many thanks for that, it proves to me that the problem is unquestionably with
the video playback.
 If I replace the video by a photo, all the effects I am trying to apply
work ( fade in from slide background, fade out to slide background etc.) as
I would expect.
 Replace the photo by a video and apply the same transitions and nothing has
any effect, it won't fade (in or out) just sits there showing the first
frame of the video until you start it, then shows the last frame after the
video finishes. 
I'm not sure whether to regard this as a misfeature or a flat-out bug in the
media-player.
 Since I don't think what I am trying to achieve is unreasonable, let me
spell it out in detail :-
1) Advance to slide in question - Displaying introductory text etc. only
2) Click - Video fades in from slide background, plays through, then fades
back to slide background.
3) Click to advance slide.

I could kludge up the effect by using a sequence of slides with rapid
transitions, but I want to be able to do it all on one slide so I can easily
re-order things.
