I'm trying to put video on powerpoint?

Question

I'm trying to put video on a powerpoint but when I watch slideshow all i see is a black screen and sound.
What do I do to actually get the video on there?

Answer 1

Powerpoint may not have the proper codec to play the video you are trying to insert. Try converting it to a .mpg if it is not already and putting that one in there. I would think that a .wmv would work as well.

Answer 2

Hi,

There's a nice web page about this problem herre.
Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or email a presentation
