This may help.
Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or email a presentation

Simplest is to FIRST put all the movies/sounds in the same folder as the PPT
itself, and only THEN insert them into PPT.

That will create pathless links that will usually not break when you move all
of the PPT and movie files to the same folder on another computer.

This should be batch-fixable in VBA but the bits you need are badly broken in
PPT 2007.  It can be done in earlier versions.
