Google video files are actually flash video files...or .flv . The file name in Google is .gvf or something like that...I cant remember now. Anyhow...after you download a Google video. You can also take it from your temporary internet files folder. Rename them with the extension .flv (flash video) For the next part, you will need Flash 8. Since you can insert flash files inside of Power Point, you have to create a file in flash and drag a Flash Video Component to the stage. and configure it to play your flash file...locally or from a webserver....export...then import to powerpoint... Or if it's not some top secret military shit...send me the .ppt file as well as the video or a link to it ... and I'll hook it up
