How to insert Flip Video to PowerPoint

Many people want to insert their videos shot by Flip video camcorder into a

PowerPoint presentation, but in most cases end with no result, either it can't be

inserted or these which can be inserted can only be heard not seen. What's wrong.

Flip video camcorder records videos mostly in MP4 format, some in AVI format

which maybe not a workable format for PowerPoint who as far as we know support

only a limited set of files like AVI, WMV, MPG or ASF which exactly the same

format Windows Media Maker accepts. However, PowerPoint uses its own

proprietary player called MCI, not the same as Windows Media Player. Therefore,

without correct file extension and right codec that compatible with MCI player,

nothing can be done with Flip video.

The right way to make Flip video compatible with PowerPoint is to convert them to

Windows Media Video (WMV) and then insert them into a PowerPoint presentation.

This is just Flip Video to PowerPoint Converter for Mac can do. With a few mouse

Besides converting Flip Video to WMV and other common file formats, Flip video to

PowerPoint also offers you rich video editing function far beyond your imagination.
