Inserting movies into powerpoint

[Chilli Eater]

I am trying to produce a powerpoint presentation into which I want to insert
movie clips. I have the clips saved in .avi format. They play perfectly in
windows media player but when I insert them into a powerpoint slide ("Insert
movie from file") the movie is there but there is no sound. I have tried
using the "Insert sound from file" command as well, but it has exactly the
same outcome - pictures but no sound.

Can anybody help?

Thanks for that Michael, it looks a useful program, but it isn't solving this
problem!

Did you download, install and try it?

I did, yes! It only seems to give me the option of e-mailing it to someone,
but neatly bound together in a zip file? I thought this would be useful
because I've had issues with this when adding music, which I now copy into a
file with the presentation and link to the music there. I thought this
program would do that for me, but didn't see what it would do to help me
import the soundtrack with the pictures of a movie clip?

Thanks, I've bookmarked that and will try it after a good nights sleep! Too
late and too tired to follow complex instructions.

Hi Chilli Eater

Make sure the movie and powerpoint are in the same folder before inserting
the movie. And put the folder directly on the C drive (e.g. not in 'My
documents') as long file paths seem to stump powerpoint.

Oh and read Austin's tutorials:
