Video and ppt help??

Nov 28, 2007 11:14

Okay, so there's this awesome Jon Stewart video that career counselors need to see. How do I imbed the video into a powerpoint presentation? I've figured out how to embed a YouTube video, but for some reason this one isn't working.

I don't even know how you embedded it here.

So, how is it done? fwoggychic December 11 2007, 02:30:59 UTC

Since you said your presentation went well, I'm assuming you figured out how to embed one of these bad boys in a PowerPoint presentation. I still need to figure out how to put clips from DVDs in ppts, if that's possible without special software. I found a program that's supposed to help.

I actually still have no idea how to do it. I ended up watching the Jon Stewart one at the website during the presentation (which I figure is more ethical anyway--let them have their ad revenue). For the You Tube ones, I found a You Tube instructional video that taught me how to get a YT video into ppt. The lame part is that it ended up choking on me during the presentation, so we just ended up watching it on the web at YT as well.

Ahah! Yeah, the MotherLoad on ComedyCentral.com s-u-c-k-s SUCKS! I don't think you can embed them into anything. Well, I'm sure that if you have friends who are good at finding "creative" ways of working around a company's fail-safes on protecting ad revenue, there's probably a way, but you're right, it wouldn't be on the level.

Maybe Microsoft needs to just make it easier to swap between PowerPoint, your browser and the DVD player. What a novel thought, huh?
