Hi,

Well, here are some solutions for you. Hope these help.

First, make sure the videos play well in Windows Media Player and the
volume is not setted to mute.
If these work ok, try the following methods:

Method 1. Try to download and install some new codec from official:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/format/codecdownload.aspx.
Go for codec references at: http://www.codecguide.com/

Method 2.
1. Put video files and the PowerPoint presentation in a same folder.
2. Re-insert these files to PowerPoint presentation.
3. Preview it.

Method 3.
$B!!(B1. Display the slide you want to insert video.
$B!!(B2. Click the "View" menu in the menu bar, and then choose "Toolbars"
in its child menu, later "Control Toolbox" to let "Control Toolbox"
displayed. Choose "More Controls" which seems like hammer.
$B!!(B3. In the succeeding dialog box, choose Shockwave Flash Object. Your
cursor will change into a cross-hair - draw a rectangle anywhere on
screen
4. Right click the inserted Shockwave Flash control, and then click
Properties.
5. Click the "Movie" property > type the full drive path in the
value column (the blank cell next to Movie), including the file name
(e.g. C\:a.swf) or URL (e.g. http://www.a.com/b.swf)
6. To make the Flash play automatically when the slide is displayed,
set the "Playing" property to "True";
7. Finally close the "Properties" window and save your presentation.

Method 4.
Convert your PowerPoint presentation to Flash use some third party
presentation tools, PPT2Flash (http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-
flash.html#110
), for instance.

BTW, there aer some information about videos, you could go and view

My sound doesn't work in PowerPoint _ ans. convert to Flash???? What?

Most likely problems that stop sound playing

They have DRM protection. If downloaded from iTunes or ripped from a
commercial CD this is quite likely

They are linked and the path is long

There is a missing codec
