Render your video out to 720 x 480, or whatever the 16 x 9 eqiv is.. 30 frames per second… windows media 9 streaming… 5000 data rate… picture quality set to 100… constant bit rate (constant with a capital C).

That will give you a video that will play back OK in PPT… PPT never plays back video beautifully… never… It will almost always glitch at the start and/or drop frames along the way… It will be OK but not great.

My advice to you would be to play back the video at your conference on a second computer and have the video TD switch from the video computer back to the PPT computer. This is an easy and your video will look alot better. You can go with a software solution if you like and I am sure there are solutions that will do the job but this one will give you an excellent result every time and you are not married to a specific codec.
