I am trying to embed an AVI video in my PowerPoint presentation. I've inserted it as a "movie" but when I actually run the slideshow, the video flashes black consistently and is unwatchable.
Anybody have any ideas on what might be happening or a better route to take in embedding a video into my PowerPoint presentation?

I've found other people complaining of the same thing when using AVI's in PP (yet they play fine in WMP), with no real explanations or solutions.
The best advice seems to be to convert the AVI to another format before embedding it, and your best bet is probably WMV.
There are about a million different converters out there for you to try/choose from (depending on your OS). There's also on-line conversion services (like http://video.online-convert.com).
