PPT with embedded MP4 videos not being improted as a playable video - how can I make the MP$ play as a video?

[brian_in_va]

I have a PPT slide presentation that has embedded MP4 videos (captured using SnagIt) in the presentation. When I import and convert, all my PPT slides convert with animations intact, but the videos are not playable and appear only as a 'static' slide.... I'm messing around with the trial version of Captivate hoping it can do what I think it can (like what I just described here) and am trying to cost-justify the purchase of this package to my management team -but I have to make sure it can do what we want it to do first - so far, no good - but I think I'm probably just missing something...any tips or suggestions?

Hi there

One way to accomplish your goal would be to use what I call: The Camtasia Approach

Basically you play the presentation and use Captivate to record it. Camtasia operates that way with PPT.
