Trouble adding Windows Movies to PowerPoint presentation

[Guest]

I added movies made in Windows Movie Maker to Power Point presentations.
Everything works well until I email presentation. The Movie will not play.
What am I doing wrong?

Are you sending the movie file with the presentation? A movie is only linked
to a presentation, not embedded.

I added movies made in Windows Movie Maker to Power Point presentations.
Everything works well until I email presentation. The Movie will not
play.
What am I doing wrong?

Did you include the movie in the email?

 

[Guest]

I sent the powerpoint as an attachment. I didn't send any other folder. I
found that I could send large files in email format by sending it through
yousendit.com which is wonderful--however, I can only send one attachment at
a time- and this prevents me from sending a folder with movie file. I wish I
knew a way to send or imbed the movie into presentation. I am getting help
from people with my powerpoint, but I never seem to be able to send the
"complete presentation" bummer

Yes, in the sense that it was in my powerpoint presentation...but no, I
didn't send it separately--due to the problem of sending multiple things
through normal email venues (files too big) and the yousendit.com -which
takes big files but can only send one attachment at a time. Anyway around
this problem?

Use Winzip or another such utility (even Windows XP's compression) to zip
the PPT file and the movie together.

Yes, zip the presentation and media files togetehr as one file and then send
it as an attachment.
