You can have back ground music, but not video.

Continuous video backgrounds can be done using any of several PowerPoint
add-ins now. It is my understanding that you will not be able to have
continuous video backgrounds across slides in 2010, but I haven't installed
the beta 2010 yet to check it out for myself.

Again, going by what I heard at a meeting, you will be able to have a single
complicated slide with multiple videos in multiple layers.

Thanks Guys, not quite what I wanted to hear. I already play videos in the
background via two different add-ins. Just a shame Microsoft appears to have
missed the boat on this one - could have been brilliant against Keynote but
for the video control. (This includes having to stop a video playing before
changing to next slide - hence pressing twice to continue!!)
