PPT - Help!
 
Dear colleagues...I need your help! I know this has been posted before, but I cannot find the link, and I searched tutorials, but I can �t find what I need either.
 
I need help on how to insert a video in a PPT..... (the easier the better, LOL!!!)
 
I must say these videos I need are on the internet, so I would first need how to download them, since the site where they are in, have no option to download.
 
Thanks in advance!!!
 
 
Hugs,

Dear Mar,
I use Stream Transport for downloading videos from various websites and it works well.
http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=29063 - how to use the software
download here: http://www.streamtransport.com/

I believe Liz lizsantiago can embed videos. Check her blog:
http://lizsantiagoeslworsheets.blogspot.com/p/tutorials.html

the last tutorial - how to insert swf movies

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Qo-_x8PJn2Y

so in this case, you should use swf films... (save as swf...)

Hi, Moravc, thanks for responding! Well, I downloaded Streamtransport...... but....... aghhhhhhh! total frustration! It �s probably just me that is so very dumb! I can �t download the video! Cry 
 
I watched Liz �s tutorial for embedding, and it looks pretty simple, even tried it with a video I already have on my computer, and it worked! But...... the video I NEED is the one that I can �t download! :(:(:(  
 
Oh well, for today, I �ve had it, can �t even think straight with such frustration. I �ll give it a go again tommorrow......
 
Thanks again for responding!
 
Good night!

Hi, Baiba... "authorstream" is the one that Moravc suggested and I downloaded, but doesn �t seem to work with the video I need.
 
Poleta, thanks for responding! is "atubecatcher" strictly for YouTube videos? because the one I need is not on YouTube...
 
Well, I �ll keep trying!
 
Thanks for responding, dear friends!
 
 
 
Have a great day!
