How To Insert 6 Common Types Of Video To Powerpoint
Generally, adding a video to your presentation goes easy with a few clicks on Insert > Movies and Sounds > Movie from File (in PowerPoint 97-2003) or Insert > Movie > Movie from file… (in PowerPoint 2007). But the video may not play in your PPT presentation due to a wrong file format. You know, PowerPoint only recognizes 4 video file formats – ASF, AVI, MPEG and WMV.
So, when you are about to insert a flash video from YouTube or Google Video, or a recorded video from your digital camera or Web camera, or a portion of a DVD movie, you’d better check whether it is a compatible file format to PowerPoint.
Here is a list of how-tos for 6 different types of video to insert to a PowerPoint presentation.
-
Insert YouTube Video to PowerPoint
Sure, you can play a YouTube video directly in your presentation using the embedding method, i.e., simply copy and paste the embed code of the video page to the target slide. Note that you must have Internet connection to make the embedding method work.
In case YouTube is blocked on the target computer, you can download it to your local drive, convert to a supportable video format like AVI or WMV, and insert to your PowerPoint presentation. Because YouTube videos are in FLV, a file format that is not supported by PowerPoint.

Insert DVD Movie to PowerPoint

You should use a quality DVD ripper to rip/crop the DVD movie and convert it to AVI or WMV for PowerPoint.

Insert Digital Camera Video to PowerPoint

-
Insert VHS/Analog Video to PowerPoint
For VHS or analog videos, you need to use a video capture app or device to convert them to digital ones. Then, save the converted videos as AVI or WMV and insert to your PowerPoint presentation.
-
Insert Web Camera Video to PowerPoint
You recorded a video clip with a web camera on your Dell. Now you would like to use it in a PowerPoint presentation. So, re-save the recorded video clip to AVI. Next, follow the Insert method mentioned at the first line to insert it to your PowerPoint presentation.
-
Insert QuickTime Movie to PowerPoint
Actually, an Apple QuickTime movie (.mov) file is not a supportable video format by PowerPoint. You cannot insert it directly to PowerPoint. You can hyperlink the QuickTime movie to PowerPoint, or convert the MOV file to AVI or WMV and insert to PowerPoint.

IMPORTANT PLUS:
To keep your video-inclusive PowerPoint presentation work on a different computer, do not forget to place the source video file and your presentation in the same file folder. Copy the folder to a USB and paste it to the target computer. Sometimes, you need to insert the video again to your presentation.
Is there HTML code that allows wave sound files to play without the need to download players?
The above HTML code will play my wave sound file if the visitor has Apple Quicktime installed. What can I do to allow my wave sound file to play cross platform without any need for downloading players?
Nothing. HTML has nothing to do with running media files. Each computer system must be able to play a given media type in order to hear or see the result. Whether that means using OS-inherent capabilities, third-party players, browser add-ons, or embedded Java players is beside the point.
For example, you could use Flash-based audio – but it will only work on computers which are set up to render Flash. WAV files will only work on computers which can play them. Same for MP3, OGG, and anything else you can imagine.
Most internet sites get around it by either choosing a fairly commonly supported format, like Flash for Youtube.
If you choose a relatively common format, the majority of page visitors won’t need to download a player because they’ll already have something which can render the audio file or stream.
If you’re trying to have a sound play every time a particular page is loaded, please don’t – it’s enormously annoying and drives people away from websites.
If you want to have the sound play when a link or object is clicked on, and you don’t want to mess around with embedded streams and whatnot, just link to the audio file. Unless you’re specifically targeting Windows-only users, make it an MP3 file.
But the best way to do it is to find a webpage which does what you’re specifically after and have a look at the source code, then just duplicate what they did.
