How to protect videos in PowerPoint 2003 when Burnt to a CD ROM

[MyCrib247]

SweetsWhenever I Burn a PowerPoint 2003 Presentation with a Password
Protection it copy the Video Files to the CD.. this is fine and dandy.. but
the videos are not password protected!. If you browse the CD ROM in Windows
Explorer the Video's are NOT protected ONLY the PowerPoint file.. Did MS
drop the ball? And if they did how could you rectify such a issue??.

Powerpoint only 'links' to video clips. Therefore they are not within the
presentation (.ppt file) to be password protected.

Well.. I guest this means it can't be done.. well what if I converted my
videos to some other format??.. like .GIF or Macromedia format will it then
make the video embedded? therefore password protected?.

GIF yes. GIFs are embedded in the PPT (use Insert, PICTURE, From File, not
Video though). I don't believe Flash would work in the PPT viewer.

Just to confirm -- Flash SWFs will not work in a presentation shown via the
PPT Viewer.
