Keep in mind that the support for videos in powerpoint presentations will vary greatly across different powerpoint versions, windows versions and even across different installs of the same versions. Even if you manage to get a version of powerpoint to "like" the container and codecs, it may not work on all computers. The AVI container has been used by windows for a long time, so I'd say chances are that it will work on more systems, but I can't say for sure. -- Nuno Silva (aka njsg) http://njsg.sdf-eu.org/
