Keep in mind that the support for videos in powerpoint presentations |
26 |
will vary greatly across different powerpoint versions, windows versions |
27 |
and even across different installs of the same versions. Even if you |
28 |
manage to get a version of powerpoint to "like" the container and |
29 |
codecs, it may not work on all computers. |
30 |
|
31 |
The AVI container has been used by windows for a long time, so I'd say |
32 |
chances are that it will work on more systems, but I can't say for sure. |
