I created and inserted the .avi file into PowerPoint. It plays on my machine,
but once e-mailed and opened by a receipient the videos will not play. Any
resolutions?--

Hi Marcopolo,
Did you email the .avi files at the same time?
The video you insert into your presenatation is linked not embed to
PowerPoint presentation, they are saved on your local disk, if you
email the presenation to others, the video will not be shown. The
difference between linked and embedded, please view:

There are 2 ways could help you out:
Solution 1
1. Put the video files and the PowerPoint presentation in a same
folder.
2. Reinsert these files to PowerPoint presentation.
3. Package the entire folder into one archive file and send it to
others. Do not create self-extracting (SFX) archive since most email
block EXE files by default. WinZip and WinRAR are both recommended to
archive your presentation files for emailing perfectly.
Solution 2 -- embed the video
Convert your PowerPoint presentation to Flash, ppt2flash (PowerPoint
add-in,
http://snipurl.com/ppt-swf), for instance. It can help you
create Flash-based presentation with all the original effects
retained. Of course, all the video files will be embedded in the
presentation. You can send the Flash-based presentation to your
friends and different computers with its smaller file size.
