Sorry, you've not understood my question; maybe I was unclear.

On one slide on the middle of a presentation, there's a video placed 
("Insert | Movie & Sound"). While editing, this shows either some 
arbitrary frame from within the video or a grey box with a question mark 
(well, you need to see something to grab!). Call this 'Exhibit X'.

The video plays automatically when the slide appears.

Looking more carefully, it appears that when this slide is shown, 
'Exhibit X' is shown while until slide transitions are complete, then 
the video runs. 'Exhibit X' is shown briefly even if there is no 
transition set. It also reverts to 'exhibit X' after the video is done 
and while while the slide disappears.

This makes an unacceptable flicker at start and end of the video.

Incidentally, I've just been trying the presentation on a 32-bit laptop 
- similar problem, except I /also/ get a white flash. (Embarrassing when 
I'm using it in front of a dedicated Powerpoint user :-(  )
