No,
PPT won’t recognize
FLV files as
movies — you can’t embed
Flash in
PowerPoint, apparently, and it is kind of a pain in the butt– so you need to
convert it to
mpeg, avi ,wmv etc. that
PowerPoint can recognize.
After a lot of trial and error I have my methods down, so I thought I would share it with you all.
Four Methods:
1.If your flv video is on
YouTube or
mySpace, Just follow these steps:
1.1 Copy the
YouTube or
mySpace video URL (example:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=J7JmsMMIR4Y )
1.2 Go to
http://vixy.net which is FREE online conversion service. Paste the URL in the conversion box
1.3 Select the output format such as “
AVI,MOV,MP4” and click the button ”start” . All conversion would be done automatically.
1.4 When the conversion is done, download the output
video to the local disk on your computer.
1.5 Insert the video to your
PowerPoint presentation.
PowerPoint -> Insert->
Movies and
sounds->
Movies from file
2. If your flv
video is on your computer. Visit
http://www.media-convert.com/ and follow these steps.
2.1 Browse your local disk and select the
FLV video to be converted.
2.2 Select the expected output format and click the button “Convert”
2.3 When the conversion is done, download the output
video to your computer
2.4 Then insert the
video to your
PowerPoint presentation.
PowerPoint -> Insert->
Movies and
sounds->
Movies from file
3.Learn from video is the most intuitionistic way:)

4. Fast and batch conversion using conversion software
if you have lots of
FLV videos to convert, you may use a conversion tool to save time. There are several tools that can convert
Flv video. I use a program called
FLV to Video Converter Pro(
http://www.flvsoft.com/).
Your comments on my article will be appreciated:)Let’s learn from each other.
