Hi :) Preferably before trying the big video please go to Tools - Options - Memory and radically increase the various settings in there so that the program can cope with the video. Does the whole video really have to be embedded in the slide-show/file or could it just be linked to and then the 2 files carried around together? It might seems a little clunkier that way but it does increase flexibility for the longer-term or if the show needs to appear on lower-spec machines (such as netbooks or tablets or hand-helds). It's not always possible easily so don't worry too much about it. It's just a thought. Several assumptions there that 'need' to be demolished. 1. LibreOffice is one single program/application with several different parts to it. Those parts should really be called "modules" rather than apps but we tend to use the wrong word to minimise endless repetitions of explanations and discussions which are mostly irrelevant to whatever problems the original poster had. Obviously it back-fires sometimes as in this case. So, Writer, Draw, Impress, Calc and Math are all 'just' modules within the program and the 1 single program is LibreOffice. You dealt with that just fine in the end but sometimes it's a struggle to explain. 2. Reinstalling does not reset settings nor configurations. You fixed a much more serious issue with the reinstall. The program/package itself 'must' have been broken in some way. Perhaps a corrupted download or something. Generally if you have weird problems and want to "get back to factory defaults" just to see if it was somethign in the settings or perhaps some 3rd party Extension struggling then just rename the User Profile https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile Actually on Friday i was able to rapidly fix a broken Gimp session on a colleague's machine by following that familiar link rather than trying to find my way through Gimp's own documentation. Not that Gimp's is bad, just that i had under a minute to find&fix. So, welcome in and regards from Tom :)

I have read, that the correct way to input a video I have to use the "input"-button. Yet I did not try the big video, but I can go on working with LibreOffice, which makes me happy :-) If the problem will occure with the big video, I will try H2 Thanks for help On 2013-01-27 10:36, Marion & Noel Lodge wrote:Hi Hank, I haven't been following this thread closely, but it seem like you are experiencing some of the same problems I had using Base HSQLDB. I eventually decided to move my Accounting Project to the H2 Database Engine, (see http://www.h2database.com/html/main.html). Some of the many advantages of H2 are - - Separate files for Data and Project - Can be run in single or multi-user mode - Users report successfully running very large databases - An active users forum I have found H2 to be very stable and have not regretted making the change. If you are interested at all, I can point you to a very good tutorial for replacing HSQLDB with H2. This may not be what you are looking for, but it's probably worth your while at least having a look at what H2 has to offer.

I'm beginning to think I'd better start looking for a new back end. I've put a lot of work into this project. Tom, this is not a small database like an address book. After normalizing, my design has 16 tables.( with a few more coming as I've discovered as I feed more data into it.) If I connect to an external server is there any way I can save my forms and reports? Or shall I have to start anew ? My tables, queries and views were all produced using SQL and I have text copies of all of them to feed any server I might select. Transfer of data becomes a problem, of course.

That does of course mean it's still not the"default"setting.As I mentioned in my answer to Tom, if you use an external version of hsqldb, it can only be the same version number as the internal version provided with LO, else the old ODB files can no longer be opened. In other words, you can not install an external hsqldb jar and expect your old ODB(hsqldb) files to keep working, as this will throw an error. So yes, it still remains a possibility, but one that you may want to avoid if you still have old ODB files that use the internal hsqldb with an older revision number than the externa jar you plug into LO.
