How to embed an internet move clip using Windows Media Player?

[Guest]

I just can't figure it out. I cannot save the file so I want to access it
and use it in my presentation straight from the internet using Windows Media
Player. Please Help! Thanks.

Hello Hardlyworking,

You can try the following,

1.Find the URL to the movie, for example,
"mms://videoserver/internetmovie.wmv"
2.Create a .asx extension text file like this:
<ASX Version="3.0">
<TITLE>movie from internet</TITLE>
<ENTRY>
<Ref href = "mms://videoserver/internetmovie.wmv" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>

3.Insert the .asx file to your presentation.
on the Insert menu, point to Movies and Sounds, click Movie from File,
double click the .asx file
