Videos are not embedded in the presentation in PowerPoint 2000. They are linked. Is PowerPoint (Office XP) can integrate fully a video now?
 
Bel,

Powerpoint always links video files. No matter what version.

Hello,

PowerPoint (even the latest version) does not include the ability to embed
(not link) media formats other than *.WAV audio files.

There are a variety of workarounds to make your presentations with linked
content more portable including:

* Pack and Go (PPT 2002 and earlier, or
* Package for CD in PowerPoint 2003
* Saving presentation in MHTML format (single file web page)

Of course, If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that
the ability to embed other kinds of media should be a built-in feature in
PowerPoint, don't forget to send your suggestion, and the reasons why it is
important to you, to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
