Link or embed video but play only a portion of the video

[John]

I can't seem to find the proper search words to find a solution but
I'd be amazed if this is not possible. I need to be able to play
small portions of videos in PowerPoint. For instance, say I've
downloaded a five minute product demo from YouTube or someother web-
site. For my presentation, however, I only want to show a 30 second
segment starting at 1:45 and ending at 2:15. How can I do this
without editing the video and cutting out the unwanted segments?

Thanks.

Using a video editor IS the best way but you might like to read this also:
