I am creating an Impress presentation that includes at least 8 slides each containing a JPG image or an MP4 video. I had problems with Impress crashing on my Windows 7 machine so I switched to my Ubuntu 14.04 machine.

I booted into my Ubuntu 14.04 machine and launched LibreOffice Impress. I was able to create the presentation using the JPG images and MP4 videos.

When I inserted the MP4 videos into their respective slides, I found that if I clicked on the Link to File box, a Question Mark would appear in the slide. If I did not check the Link to File box, the image of the MP4 video appeared.

If I click on Slide Show (F5). the presentation plays the images and videos.

If I save the presentation as an ODF file and then launch it again, the slides are all correct as they were saved. If I save the presentation as a Microsoft Powerpoint PPT file, all the MP4 videos appear as Question Marks in their respective slides and do not play.

I want the presentation to be able to be opened by someone who has MS Powerpoint. I do not know if MS Powerpoint can read ODF files.

Rich Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Known bug
The problem with videos not being accurately exported to PPT is likely bug FDO#34803. Bug FDO#64483 may also be related. MS Office 2013/365 can both read/write ODF v1.2 but LO by default now writes out ODF v1.2 Extended (which will eventually become ODF v1.3).
