I am trying to put a presentation which includes video clips up on the web,
and having no luck at all. Everything plays, except the video files. It
acts as if it is not linked to the video.

Can you help me?

Hi, Phil

At least two reasons to cause this.
1. The video is lost.
That means you do not upload it to server. Usually video in linked
rather than embeded, and you need to put the video and the PowerPoint
file itself in
a same folder with short file path then reinsert the video. When as it
as an HTML page, you have to upload all the things generated to
server.

2. The html coding things
Maybe you like to check the html coding of your page.
My experience is with an ordinary html webpage to play video.

First I upload the video to server, check its full path on web.(URL OF
THE VIDEO ON WEB in the coding )

Second I use the Embed tag to includ a video player in the webpage to
play the video.

<embed name="RAOCXplayer" src="URL OF THE VIDEO ON WEB"
type="application/x-mplayer2" width="776" height="480" ShowC."1"
ShowStatusBar="1" AutoSize="true" EnableC."0" DisplaySize="0"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/
Products/MediaPlayer/"></embed>


I think you should use the Save As Web Page to show your file online.
It is easy but has some disvantages
1. you only get a static presentation without animations or transtions
2. you has to deal with some unpected troubles like video and audio
can not play correctly.

Here is one alternative for you to show a PowerPoint online, convert
PowerPoint to Flash.
This is the guide to use a PowerPoint to Flash conversion tool to
insert your presentation in a webpage
