Thanks for the comment.

In the end, we transferred the whole thing to his Powerpoint machine. 
Promptly lost much of my careful layout (white fonts turned black; sizes 
changed, pictures moved) and he no doubt spent a happy time repairing 
the worst of the damage. But the video ran perfectly on PP :-{

I'm almost sure this has been around since early OOO days; I'll see 
about logging a bug report in the New Year (and maybe even trying it on 
Apache's OOO). It really was a show stopper for me, and I'm surprised 
nobody else has raised the issue.
