How to embed a video file to a powerpoint presentation

Nov 5, 2007 1:42AM PST

To Whom It May Concern:

My Marketing class is doing a presentation on Mattel, and we really would like to use a video clip from TV.com. Unfortunately, our classroom will not have Internet access, and we will need an actual copy of the video file. Is there a way to get this video file for school purposes? We actually need it for this evening at 4pm - and so this is a bit urgent.

Thank you for your assistance!

Sincerely,
Elizabeth


It is the following video:

Go to this link, and hit ?Ctrl + F? and type Mattel in the search OR scroll down towards the bottom and look for the interview with ?Robert Best?: http://www.tv.com/project-runway/show/26278/videos.html

(Here's the actual URL: http://dw.com.com/redir?ltype=&siteid=45&edid=3&asId=&astId=&ptId=&ontid=49&ttag=vid_5945&lop=vid_sum&orderId=&destURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tv.com%2Fmedia_player%2F5945%2F4%2Fviewer.php%3Fcontext_type%3D101%26context_id%3D26278%26tag%3Dvideos%3Bimage%3B14)

If the video is not downloadable and it's legal...

Look up FRAPS on google.com to "capture" the video to a local file. This is not an offer to teach how to use FRAPS.

Remember that some video is copyrighted so you may not use it in your presentations. No need to get into trouble over such.
