Problems with QT movies in presentation

Anonymous
Not applicable
We're putting together our first presentation. We have generated QT movies of fly arounds (multiple camera positions with added frames between cameras). The problem is that on playback, some movies play fully while others skip all the interim frames and only show the views of the camera positions. Additionally, playback is inconsistent - one time all frames play, the next only camera positions are shown. Yet additionally, this varies from computer to computer (all Macs). One computer will run the movies, with only one movie experiencing the problem(G4), the next will experience the problem with another movie(G5), while the third will not play any movie with all frames, only the camera positions(PB). AC8 was used to produce the movies originally and Keynote used to develope the presentation. All versions of QT (6.5.2) are the same on all computers.

Computers:
QT movies developed on G5 / 1.6 MHz / 3 GB ram / OS 10.2.5
Presentation put together on G4 / 450 MHz / 1 GB ram / OS 10.3.9
Presented on PB G4 / 1 MHz / 1 GB ram / OS 10.3.9
Keynote 2.0.2 used to make presentation & present on PB.

Anybody have any ideas?

Are you downloading the presentation onto the harddrive of the computer or trying to run it off a CD ? I have found this makes a difference.
