Could someone please help me to get videos, encoded in MPEG 2 into my powerpoint, w/out having to do a hyperlink!! Is there some kind of codec that is needed. I followed another authors guide with reference to the media player bit (if it doesn't work in media player, it won't probably work in powerpoint) and he/she was certainly correct. I am just not happy with the performance/quality/clarity/everything about encoding in MPEG 1. Please help!!
