jebus197 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWDweller Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 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.

jebus197 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 The presentation has to be compatible with both Windows and Mac machines, hence .WMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
