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 :)

Thanks for answer
After several trys to delete and reinstall LibreOfficeImpress I looked 
for any file in the computer:
sudo find / -name libreoffice* -print
and deleted all of them and installed  LibreOfficeImpress new
from Ubuntu Software Center
And ... its working :-)

In one of these files must have been the wrong configuration, which 
happened through copy and paste the 2 minute long video to 
LibreOfficeImpress. 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

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.

Hi Alex, Mark, Tom,
You guys scare me !  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.

Isn't hsqldb *still* a (relatively) good choice, as long as it is
installed and
used *external* to Base?  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.
