This is doable, but I'm guessing that you want a good and consistent quality
result. PowerPoint is simply the wrong tool for building "Music Video"-like
presentations. Instead, consider using Windows Movie Maker (already on most
XP systems), Flash, or one of the other video editing software packages.
PowerPoint does not communicate well with the sound rendering side of the
system; it just hands off the file and says, "play this". The system's
music rendering software gets fairly high priority (higher even than
PowerPoint), since poor rendering of sound is very noticeable to even a
novice listener. As a result, the sync may start off OK but gradually
change (either too early or too late - depending on the system and some
other variables), as PowerPoint becomes bogged down with image
manipulations.
In video, the sound and images are linked together and ,more importantly,
rendered together. Use the right tool for the job and the job will be much
easier.
