MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2006TM video file
I want to add a real player TM video clip to power point...can this be done?? When I try to do it the conventional way, my computer freezes as if it is rejecting this type of video....any suggestion as MUCH appreciated!!!! No, RealMedia is the competition and is not supported in PowerPoint. You will need to convert it to a more Windows friendly format to use it natively in PowerPoint. Also note, if the file contatins DRM (Digital Rights Management) you won't be able to use it at all.

You would need to buy/find a conversion application. I never use RealMedia for anything so I can't recommend anything. Sorry.

I should start by saying that I really do not like Real Media files much. Their player makes the assumption that it is the only player that you will use and messes with your MCI settings. I do not have it installed on any of my machines. Even if you do get the clip to play from within PowerPoint on your machine, it will probably not play back on any machine without RM installed. If the Real Media clip plays in Windows Media Player, than you might benefit from looking at PFC Media. Major great add-in that helps ensure your media will play on another machine. http://www.pfcmedia.com/ I would also suggest looking for a conversion (rm2avi) program (Google is your friend) or seeking that clip in a non-RM format.
