Our church has PowerPoint & PowerPoint Viewer, right now I'm running it on
dual monitors. One is the monitor on the computor and the other is the
projection screen. How do I run a video through them?

THE PROBLEM IS I'M NOT SURE HOW TO SAVE THE VIDEO TO THE COMPUTOR TO GET IT
INTO THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION. I'M NEW TO ALL OF THIS STUFF AND IT
FRUSTRATES ME AT TIMES. CAN I EXPORT OR IMPORT THE VIDEO FROM THE DVD IN THE
TOWER? I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAVE IT TO THE COMPUTOR.

First, turn off you caps lock, "shouting" isn't required. <g>

Lets start from the begining, what specifically is it you are trying to do?
If you are trying to copy a commercial DVD and put it in your presentation
you can stop now because PowerPoint will NOT allow you to use media that is
copyright protected.

If you want to play a DVD in your presentation you may use something like
PFCMedia or PFCPro to do so, but you will NOT be allowed to distribute it to
others, that again is a copyright violation.

What format is the video in?

To insert in ppt. Place the vid in the same folder as the presentation
before inserting.
Insert > Movies and sounds > movie from file.

Signature

Did that answer the question / help?
