Tips:

1. This is the easiest way to insert a video.

2. Only video in formats of AVI, MPEG and WMV can be inserted in this way

3. Always put the movie in the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation. If you later move the PowerPoint presentation to another computer, copy the movie too. Keeping your movie in the same folder as your presentation ensures the link will still work. However, you should always test the movie on a new machine just to be certain. Re-insert the movie, if necessary.
