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
Bruce, so what is your question?

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>
