How to Insert Media into PowerPoint Slides

If you've ever wanted to insert movies, sounds, or flash objects into your powerpoint slides, this will show you how.

Keep in mind that these methods will usually only link the files. That means, if you move the .ppt presentation file to another location without moving the files along with it appropriately, they will not work.
One way to solve this is by simply taking the files with you, or "Publishing" it for CD. (Available on the Office Menu [That's the big nice windows logo thing])

I'm using PP 2010, and it keeps saying when I try to play it: "To play the selected item, you must install the Macromedia Flash Player. To download the Macromedia Flash Player, go to the Adobe Web site."

Latest version of Flash I got was flashplayer 10, and is the latest one. I already have it, but this message keeps coming up and nothing ever actually plays. What is it that I'm doing wrong to stop it from playing the vid?

I'm looking to embed a video from a DVD on PPT 2003. I've been told to download PlaysforCertain to assist in this. Do you know anything about this?
