Hi, we had two wmv files within a PowerPoint show. They were 764x1028
so they would look just like a slide. The presenter wanted to pause
the first move several times. Sometimes it worked, most often it did
not. It either clicked to the next slide or played the wmv again. Same
issue with the second movie although we had no pauses here. It kept
repeating instead of advancing to the next slide. All loops were shut
off. I just don't think PPT is robust enough to handled this level of
video. Any ideas or suggestions? Should we have tried to convert the
entire show to a Flash movie and edited the wmv in?
 
The best way to integrate movies in powerpoint is to upload it to youtube and then embed it into your presentation.
In this way, yournpresentation will not only be very light in size, but it can also be distributed via mail without loosing the connection to the source file.
An internet connection is the only requirement.

To embed a youtube movie in ppr, you insert a shockwave flash object and chamge the settings. You can find a simple and short tutotial ( even with a free download template where all the work has been done for you):
