Three ways to insert flv (YouTube/ Google) videos into PowerPoint

FLV (Flash Video) is a proprietary file format used to deliver video over the Internet via Adobe Flash Player (formerly known as Macromedia Flash Player) version 6, 7, 8, or 9.

Recently a number of notable Websites, such as Youtube, Google video and MySpace, use FLV format. FLV video is supported by all popular browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera…) and viewable on different operating systems (MacOS, Windows, and Linux). but PowerPoint Presentation can not recognize it. That means we can not insert flv video into PowerPoint directly. We need to convert the flv video to MPEG, AVI ,WMV etc. and then insert the converted video to PowerPoint, But in my personal experience, The best format PowerPoint support is wmv, Here I will tell u three ways to put flv video in PowerPoint.

1. If your want to put flv video from YouTube Google video or MySpace online, Just follow these steps:
step 1, Copy the YouTube or MySpace video URL (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlH7XsM670A)
step 2, Go to http://vixy.net or http://www.convertdirect.com which are FREE online conversion service. Paste the URL in the conversion box
step 3 Select the output format such as “AVI,WMV,MP4” and click the button ”start” or “submit” . The video conversion would be done automatically.
step 4 When the conversion is finished, download the output video to the local disk on your computer.
step 5 Insert the video to your PowerPoint presentation.
PowerPoint -> Insert-> Movies and sounds->Movies from file

2.
If your flv video is on your computer. U can follow these steps.
Download and launch Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro2
In order to finish this guide, please install the Moyea program of FLV conversion

1. Add File
Click on “Add FLV” icon to import target FLV file into the program. Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro2 supports all kinds of FLV files without installing extra codecs; The programme supports the FLV files such as On2 VP6 video FLV, H263 video FLV, NellyMoser audio FLV, etc.
2. EditHere you can edit the video by cropping and trimming, adjusting the effect, adding logo and text.

3. Settings

Select “AVI” in the pull-down menu of “Export format” as the format of the output video file.

4. Convert

After conversion, mission accomplished! Then you can get AVI file.

U also can choose other video format like mpeg, wmv, mp4, mov as output video format.

if you have a couple of flv videos on your computer,  u also can batch convert with it.

Insert the avi video into your PowerPoint presentation

PowerPoint -> Insert-> Movies and sounds->Movies from file

Thrid way

Step1

Check the Adobe website for the latest version of the Flash player and download it to your computer. If you already have the Flash player, the installer will notify you.

Step2

If you have the Adobe Flash authoring program, you will need to save the FLV file as a SWF file. If you don’t have Adobe Flash, you will need to use a conversion software program. The file converters are much less expensive than the Adobe Flash authoring program. Refer to the link listed in the Resources section below for a site with comparisons of various converter programs. Download and install the program of your choice as directed. Then convert the FLV file to a SWF file. Remember where you saved the SWF file.

Step3

Open Powerpoint and save it to a new document. Take note of the location where you saved the file. Create a new slide to place your video on.

 Step4

Select “View” from the menu bar at top, then “Toolbars” from the drop-down and then “Visual Basic” (A small pop-up dialog box will appear).

 Step5

Click on the icon for “Control Toolbox”. It looks like a hammer and a wrench. Another small pop-up toolbar will appear.

Step6

Click on the icon for “More Controls” ( it looks like a hammer and a wrench with three dots next to it). A drop-down list will appear with a long alphabetical listing of formats. Scroll down the list until you see “Shockwave Flash Object”.

Step7

Draw a rectangular box on your slide with your cursor, which has now changed to a cross-hair. The size can be adjusted later.

 Step8

Right-click on the rectangular box you just made and select “Properties”.

 Step9

Change the following properties in the Alphabetical tab as follows:Embed Movie: Change to “True”Loop: Change to False (this will run your movie once within the slide show).Movie: Type in the path to your SWF file in the folder or location where you saved it.

Step10

Check your movie by running the slide show preview in Powerpoint. If the above steps were followed, your video clip or animation should play within the Powerpoint as the slide is displayed in the slideshow.
