I have powerpoint 2003 and I want to add an AVI file to a slide. The file
plays fine in Windows Media Player and every other video player that I have.
But when I insert the movie into Powerpoint, the audio plays but no video.
Any ideas?

Thanks

PowerPoint does not use Windows Media Player. It relies directly on the
multimedia capabilities of Windows. To test, whether it can display your
film, click on the Start button and run the program mplay32.exe. If this
does not display your video, PowerPoint will not display it, too. Mostly
because it can't handle the codec.

Best regards,
Ute

Convert your AVI video file to WMV video file, as powerpoint like this type
the best these days
For this task take a look at VidCrop
