Did you know that when you create a powerpoint slide and insert a movie in/on it, that it creates a space on the page and links back to the original file?
So what? well I found this out when I tried to burn a copy of the powerpoint show to a CD to present it at a meeting. When I ran the show from the CD, no movies were present, only the black void of emptyness where the movie was supposed to be. No big, since I will bring the whole laptop to the meeting.
This difference is notable since it varies with how powerpoint handles pictures that are inserted
in/on slides. If you copy the ppt to a cd, the pictures go with it in that case.
The handling of movies in ppt seems to be designed the way web sites are designed with many threads connecting all the pieces that come together only when you display the page on the screen.
