I'm trying to inset video clips into a powerpoint presentation as avi files
or mpeg files and when you view the slideshow they don't play. Please help,
my brain is melting!

Sorry to hear about the gray goo Jimmy,

Perhaps we can help a little if you would give us some more details.

What version of PowerPoint are you using?
What did you do to insert the movie files?
Do the movies play in the MCI player? how about in Windows Media Player?
Are you moving the presentation?
Are you showing them on the primary monitor or the secondary?

Please post back with the answers so we can point you to the right resources
to fix this problem. Video in PowerPoint is, unfortunately, not as simple
as images or text. Video playing depends on a lot of system based resources
and these can vary from system to system. This means that getting them to
play can be ... well ... brain melting.
