Download the fully functioning PFCPro Trial and see if it fixes your problem. &nbsp;There are also tutorials on Multimedia in PowerPoint on the site.<br />
I'm sending you to the site, becuase there are so many things that cause problems with video in PowerPoint and most folks (after visiting this site) find their problem and fix it pretty quickly.<br />
Thanks.<br />

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.

A presentation program is a software package used to display information in the form of a slide show. It has three major functions: an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted, a method for inserting and manipulating graphic images, and a slide-show system to display the content.
