Can anyone explain how to inset a video in PowerPoint 2008?


Recommended Posts

Hi, can anyone explain how to inset a video in PowerPoint 2008? I can insert the videos without a problem, but my video is formatted in WMV format and only seems to be able to play about 3:30 minutes of the film in question. However my video is 10 minutes long.

In Windows I remember something similar, but this had something to do with setting the maximum file size for embedded video. You could change this at will however. On a Mac, there doesn't seem to be an option to do this.

I just tried doing this with my PowerPoint 2008, and it worked just fine with a 24 minute video. I did this though with a M4V file not a WMV. That might make a difference. Can you change the file to make it more compatible with Mac such as M4V or AVI?

As you might know WMV is not a Mac file but a Windows Movie File so that might make at difference? Not sure as I don't have any that I can test for you.
