someone brought a presentation to church. On some of the slides they are
linked to a DVD, says it plays alright at home, but it wouldn't ours.
In reading help files, says you can't do that without the help of another
program?
thanks

Can you link a DVD, without downloading an extra program(s) or is the only
ones you can link in a ppt presentation that are listed in the insert/movie
dialog box?

PowerPoint can not link to a DVD natively.  You can however insert a ActiveX
control to play one and then write the needed Visual Basic software to
control it and tie in to the PowerPoint slide.  Or as you suggest, you can
use a third party add in like PFCMedia to do it. <g>
