[LM_NET] Videos in Powerpoint

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@FWCDS.ORG>]

I am trying to convert video images taken with a digital camera (with video 
recording capabilities) into AVI format and then insert them into a powerpoint 
presentation.  These are digital videos taken with a Kodak Easy Share digital 
camera ---- students are talking and reading personal essays, but the clips are 
very short digital films.

I'm not having any luck with the transfer of the video into the ppt (there are 
errors according to the PPT program).  I realize that the videos must be compatible 
with my Windows operating system (Windows Media Player) in order for them to work 
in my PPT program, thus the reason for transferring the files from their original 
formats to an AVI format.

Does anyone have any suggestions, better directions, or ideas that might help?
