How do you embed an MPG4 video in PowerPoint

[Victor Delta]

I am trying to insert an MPG4 video into a PP XP/2002 presentation but still
having no success.

I've read and followed a very good web page of advice on this, installed the
klite codecs and confirmed that the video now runs ok in the MCI player.
However, I still can't insert it into the Presentation.

Any ideas please.

TIA

You can't insert or you can't embed?

Do you get an error message? If yes can you please post it. If not what
exactly happens when you insert the video?

When I use 'Insert movie from file' to try and insert an mp4 file, I get the
following message "PowerPoint couldn't insert a movie from the selected
file. Either the file is non-standard, or QuickTime is not properly
installed."

Transcode your MPG4 to avi or wmv (I use SUPER for that purpose) and insert
the wmv

Have a look at this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/235950/en-us

It was written for PPT 2000 but the steps are helpful for PPT 2003 and 2007,
too.
