This ‘apparent’ slide show was produced as a video and has never existed as a ‘slide show’ that you might use in programmes such as Power Point.
You can download a version without Karaoke Text at Vimeo (see below).

THAT’S IT
Regardless of which of the above routes you took, you are ready to play the video on any computer.
If your default media player is Windows Media Player, your computer will probably throw its hands up and say it does not know what to do with this file — unless you have downloaded extra CODECS or Windows has upped its act by the time you read this.
I have tested the file and it plays just fine in Real Player

It also plays fine in Apple Quicktime

The music in this video is produced by synthesizer and the timing is a bit mechanical.
You should find that you will naturally vary/smooth the timing/flow as you rehearse this song.
If your performance of the song turns out to be remarkably good, why not record it and send it to me as an MP3 audio file. I will include the best ones on this web site with full credits and links to the performers.
Whatever you do, I would appreciate you dropping me a note to say how your performance went.
Best wishes,
Nigel.
If you need to play the video on a domestic DVD player then you have a problem.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM
The file you have downloaded is an MPEG-4 file using a CODEC called H.264 — I can hear you groaning from here.
DVD’s are encoded in MPEG-2.
You need to convert the MPEG-4, H.264 to MPEG-2
I cannot recommend anything as I have no experience in this area but knowing what is required is the first step to finding a solution — it will almost certainly involve parting with some cash.
If you have a DVD/CD authoring/burning program then try making a video DVD using the downloaded file as the source — you never know, it might just work — good luck.
