Proper video format to embed in Powerpoint

[John-michael Seng-wheeler]

Last time I had to do this I used a .WMV file. Seemed to work. The other time it was an MPEG-1. I forget why it had to be MPEG-1

Anything Windows Media Player can handle out-of-the-box. WMV would be a safe choice, as mentioned.

I usually embed videos in powerpoint in .flv flash format, as it embeds a flash player which allows you to play, fastforward, pause, etc… WMV or MP4 formats are allowed, but don´t allow you to “goto” a concrete point of time inside the video shown as there are no play controls, you can only play and pause (clicking in the video with mouse).
