How do I play my .avi file in PowerPoint

[wdj13]

I'm trying to insert a movie file (.avi) into my pwrpnt presentation. When I
click to play I get multicolored lines and no movie. What do I need to do to
make a movie play in PowerPoint? I've tried .mpeg and wmv and I get the same
results.

Sounds like it might be your hardware acceleration. This will tell you how to
adjust it:

Sorry, that didn't work either...does the file have to be a certain size?
