MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2005Can anyone help me import video into my powerpoint presentation?
Every time I try to import a mpeg video to my powerpoint presentation, the program acts as if it is going to import it, but all I get on the slide is a black box. When I right click on the box and click "play video", nothing happens. The video was imported from a Sony Handycam and will readily play when I open Windows Media Player - I just can't get it into the presentation for some reason. Please help!! OrthoPA, When you add the video to a presentation, it is linked - not imported. This is an important distinction. Also, PPT doesn't use Media Player to play the videos, it uses the MCI player. So, your first thing to do is to find out if the video plays using that player. The next thing to do is to check to see if the path to the video is too long. After that, there are several other things to test....Rather than going into all the details here, I am going to send you to Sonia's site where you can find this tutorial: http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/multimedia.htm Start there, then come back with more questions....

What is the file extension. I know you said mpeg, but is it .MPG or .AVI?

Please help!! Powerpoint-to-dvd can convert powerpoint to mpeg and play it nicely with backgound music. Moreover,it also includes slide duration, narration record ,etc. More info www.powerpoint-to-dvd.com. I prefer http://www.geovid.com/presentation_to_video_converter to other encoding tools.
