Please review this information to be certain that your movies will play on the SIGGRAPH Asia 2012 computers. These tips were written for PowerPoint users, but the issues (files, folders, and CODECS) are common to most presentation software.

Files and Folders

Be sure to bring all the files associated with your presentation. (If you have movies that play in your presentation, you must copy each individual movie file onto your presentation disk.)

Make sure your PowerPoint presentation and your movies are in the SAME folder. If you put videos in sub-folders, they will likely not play. (If you have already done this, we can fix it in the Speaker Preparation Room.)

CODECs

If you used a special CODEC to create video compression, you must bring this CODEC program with you so we can install it on our presentation computer. If you are unsure about your CODEC, try your presentation on a computer other than the one you use everyday. Try one in another office or at a friend's house. If you know the person who created the video, please contact that person and ask if the video includes any CODEC issues.

We Can Help

If you are unsure about which CODEC your movie requires, you can email a sample of one of your movies to the SIGGRAPH Asia 2012 Speaker Prep Staff. We will test it and let you know if there are any issues. Send your questions or concerns to the Speaker Preparation staff.
