Hi folks,

After embedding widescreen video into a powerpoint presentation, it plays back in standard format.  How can I get my widescreen video that I embed in a .ppt to play back as a widescreen video in the .ppt?

Why is widescreen 16:9 video playing back as standard format 4:3 when embedded in Powerpoint?

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.

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.
