I know that, have already been caught in that pitfall.

Keep in mind that the support for videos in powerpoint presenta= tions
will vary greatly across different powerpoint versions, windows versions and even across different installs of the same versions. Even if you
manage to get a version of powerpoint to "like" the container and=
codecs, it may not work on all computers.

The AVI container has been used by windows for a long time, so I'd say<= br> chances are that it will work on more systems, but I can't say for sure= .
