Cable Forum - View Single Post - Embedding a video in a PowerPoint presentation

I've had this problem before and the reason it happens is becuase Powerpoint sets itself a default file size where anything over a certain size gets linked, and not embeded.

To get round this, you just change the size.

1) In Powerpoint, go to the options menu.

2) It should be under the General tab.

3) Change the file size limit so it is BIGGER than your video:

(So for example if you have a 15mb video...put in 20000)
As you will see in the settings, it says Sound, but it should work for video.
I havent used it in ages so let me know if all works.
