saving powerpoint with video in it

[Guest]

I am currently attempting to create a power point presentation with video on
each of the slides. I have successfully done this but I need to know how to
save the presentation so that it will play without having to be on my
computer?

I used Microsoft Movie Maker to create clips out of a recorded presentation.
I then imported those clips into PowerPoint so that they will play on the
slide the speaker is speaking about. But how do I save the PowerPoint so ANY
computer can play it without the clips?

Thanks!
Tim

Videos are always linked to the PowerPoint, so others will always need the
movie files. Be sure that you put the files in the same folder as your
PowerPoint before inserting them, then send the whole folder, and the videos
should continue to work. For more details, look here:

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation

On ANY computer simply is not possible. (Apple does not support WMV) As to
Windows based PCs, a great deal depends upon which codecs you use and if
they are present on the other PCs.

If you would like a more complete explanation have a read here:

All right here.

You can't play your PowerPoint in other computers without the clips
linked in correct path. You must copy your external video files with
your slide show. More, you need to choose the right format of your
video, otherwise other computers may don't have the codec to play.

Alternatively you can save your PowerPoint as other universal types. I
guess Flash movie is the best way to store, deliver and play in
different computer. There're many conversion tool can achieve this
with your video clips retained. As I know, Wondershare PPT2Flash can
support animations and transitions with powerful features. Other tools
like Articulate Presenter, FlashSpring Pro are great, too.

You may have a try!

hi, Tim
Why not convert your PowerPoint presentation with the inner clips to a
solid video?
By this way you can play the resulting presentation video on ANY
computer!
There is a tool called PPT2Video Converter I'd like to suggest to
you. I've tried it and it works for me.
You may get it here: http://www.ppt-to-dvd.com/ppt-to-video-overview.html

And, the other method is to burn your PowerPoint presentations to DVD.
By this way You not only can play PowerPoint on Computer, but also
play it on TV with a DVD remote controlling the playback such as "
Next slide, Previous slide".
