Embed videos?

[Darude]

Hey guys I was wondering if there was a way of literally embedding videos into my powerpoint, but not in the standard way where it gathers the video data from a certain directory. I was wondering if you could literally make the video merge itself with the powerpoint so it doesn't have to rely on the directory for the video to be shown visible.

Thanks.

In short, no you can't.

We can only embed wav audio files into PowerPoint.

Firstly open the power point 07
then click the button insert>>movie>>choose you movie
it should be a (.mpeg) or (.avi) or (.wmv) format that power point can be accept.
If you want to convert, there is a tool you can try it :.
Wonder share Video Converter Platinum:

1. Open Microsoft PowerPoint 2007
2. Go to Developer (to enable this, go to Office button-> PowerPoint options-> Show Developer tab in the Ribbon), and then click More Controls
3. Scroll down until you find “Shockwave Flash Object”; select it. Then on your slide, click and drag to make a box. The box should have a black X in the middle.
4. Open up your favorite internet browser and go to the video you want to put in your presentation.
5. Copy the URL which will look something like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGPjB4qzUy8
6. Take the “watch?v=FGPjB4qzUy8″ and simply change it to “watch/v/FGPjB4qzUy8″. (All I did was change the ? and = to a /)
7. The final URL should look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/FGPjB4qzUy8
8. Copy the new URL and go back to your PowerPoint. Right click on the box you made earlier and select properties.
9. Then find “movie” and click on the box across from that. Paste the new URL into that spot. Click the X to close that window.
10. Finally, play your Powerpoint and the Youtube video will appear like magic!
