wav audio format in ppt is too big, what option i have?

[jilo]

looks like pptx (ppt 2007) doesn't accept mp3 or wma audio format, but the
file size of wav is soooo big that I just can't use it. One piece music i
planed to embed into my pptx, mp3 is 10 mb, wma is 1.8 mb, and 40 mb for wav.
I tried to use wma so i can send via email, however it won't take. what can i
do?

You can buy a third party program.

You can reduce the bit size and sample rate of the .wav

You can use Hyperlink to link to the file and let a codec outside of PPT
play the file

I use CDEX (free) to transform the wave or MP3 into RIFF wave ( tt have the
wright of an MP3 but looks like a wave)

I have an answer for you. I got it from someone in this newsgroup.
Read the link below. Install that Codex software ( free ). It disguises the
mp3 as wav sound file and keep it the SAME size.
The rest of the tutorial should be valuable for you to read.
There are several tutorials here:
