imbedded video

[Guest]

I've created several videos to use in PowerPoint. These presentations and
videos are for marketing our aircraft all over the world. How do I ensure
that these videos will work properly, within powerpoint, on ANY PC.

Video cannot be embedded in powerpoint.
In ppt 2003 use package for cd or pack and go if you have xp.

In addition to what John said, you can try the PPT add in at www.pfcmedia.com

Or convert your files to a self-contain, self-executing executable file.
Instructions for PPT 2003 conversion can be found here:
http://www.indezine.com/products/powerpoint/pp2003/ppt2exe.html. Instructions
for PPT 2002 are also on the same site.

I guess I worded my problem wrong. I should have said linked instead of
imbedded. The videos are linked and play fine will the slide is shown on my
PC. But many times they won't play (even when properly linked) within PP on
another PC. I believe this is some kind of CODEC problem. I'm trying to
ensure that the linked videos will play on any PC.

Thanks for your help.

ANY PC ... probably not possible. But then I'm not known for my ebullient
optimism when it comes to Things Computer. More your Murphy type than your
Pollyanna.

But if you want to give your videos the best possible chance of playing on the
widest possible variety of Windows-based computers, visit www.pfcmedia.com

There's a free trial available, so you can give a it thorough test with your
particular mix of software and video versions.
