Hi All

My first thread, your help very much appreciated.

I have a powerpoint presentation DVD which has video clips on it as well. The powerpoint slide show has slides with a picture where the short ( 15 sec) video clip should be but the videos which are on the same DVD apparently have to be "linked" to the powerpoint presentation. How do I do this please. PS: I am not very PC technical.

many thanks.

Is it on DVD? If so you could copy it onto your computer. Then inbed it into the show.

Hi

many thanks for such a quick reply.

Yes the video clips and PP file are on the same dvd but the video clips are seperate to the powerpoint presentation file. I have copied the DVD onto my computer and laptop but how do I inbed the video clips into the slide show? Apologies for being so dense.

many thanks

I assume the files are now .avi or Mpeg?

Create a slide, or if you have an exsisting slide you want it on.
Go to Insert along the top. There should be a Movies and sounds. Click on that. It will then bring up a window for you to find the location of the video. Then insert it. Simple as that :)

Many thanks

yes inserted it on slide that is already on presentation like you advised but still will not play. It seems to create a little sub slide and then nothing happens??

Have you ran the show yet? Do you have to click or press a key for it to run when you are in the show?

Hi

I cannot tell if it is set correctly, all I keep getting is subscreens etc . Really at a loss of what to do? Video clip plays ok seperately and PP is ok seperately just cant get the video clip into the PP ??

Hi

Struggling again this morning with the video clip. The video clip I have now copied onto my desktop and it shows as a shortcut on windows media player. It plays fine on this. I have tried cut and pasting it and copying it onto the slide but that doesnt work. I have also tried "inserting" it as suggested. For some reason it seens to add a smaller subscreen but still does not play on the powerpoint? Can you explain please what I need to check. many thanks
