It isn't possible to add a digital movie from a video DVD to a presentation in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007
To prevent possible problems with links, it is a good idea to copy the movies into the same folder as your presentation before you add the movies to your presentation.

• In Normal view, click the slide to which you want to add a movie or animated GIF file.
• On the Insert tab, in the Media Clips group, click the arrow under Movie.

Do one of the following:

• Click Movie from File, locate the folder that contains the file, and then double-click the file that you want to add.
• Click Movie from Clip Organizer, scroll to find the clip that you want in the Clip Art task pane  and then click it to add it to the slide.

  When you insert a movie, you are prompted with a message asking how you want the movie to start: automatically (Automatically) or when you click the movie (When Clicked).

  • To automatically start the movie when you show the slide, click Automatically. You can pause a movie while it is playing by clicking it. To continue playing the movie, click it again.
  • To manually start the movie when you click it on the slide, click When Clicked

  You can play a movie so that it fills up the entire screen when you are giving your presentation, instead of playing it as part of a slide in your presentation. This is called playing a movie full screen. Depending on the resolution of your original movie file, it might appear distorted when it is enlarged. You will always want to preview your movie, so that if the movie appears distorted or blurry, you can undo the full screen option. Generally, a small movie that is set to play full screen will not look good when it is enlarged.

  If you set the movie to be displayed full screen and it is also set to start automatically, you can drag the movie frame off the slide into the gray area so that it will not be visible on the slide or flash briefly before the movie goes to full screen.

• In Normal view, click the movie frame on the slide that you want to play full screen.
• Under Movie Tools, on the Options tab, in the Movie Options group, select the Play Full Screen check box.
