Adding audio or video files to a .ppt presentation

I have a problem: can anyone help me? 
When I add an audio or a video from a file to my PowerPoint presentations, then the presentation works only if that file is attached to the presentation. I usually create a folder containing the .ppt presentation and the files for audios and videos used in that presentation. This way the presentation works. BUT... how can I have my presentation work without that attached files? I mean, if I want to upload that presentation on this site, then the audios and videos don�t work, because it cannot find the related files... and it is not possible to upload the entire folder with the .ppt and the files. Is there a different way to add a video to a presentation so that it works without attached files?  |

I think a quick answer to your question is simply you can�t. There are some sounds that are generic to PowerPoint, like swishes and whistles, but embedded videos, flash and other sounds require an alternative file. As far as I am aware, the only files that this site can accept are Word documents (.doc) and PowerPoints (.ppt).
People have asked in the past about uploading .pdf files and I think the general answer is because of space and technical difficulties, only the two previous formats are acceptable.
As far as I am aware the only solution to this would be to give your e-mail or offer through private messenger for anyone who downloads your presentation to contact you and then you can send them the relevant files via personal e-mail.
If anyone can suggest anything else, I would be more than interested. |

Very simply you can use WAV.files as well as Mp3 files provided you are using a correct converter which allows to compress both formats even further and then add it to the ppt.
there is a very good converter that I use it is called: ACE Converter
check it out. |
