Hi, I have managed to embed windows media player into the slides and then link the player to the specific video.
Is there a way to play video on click rather than the video loading automatically. 99% of the time I use Keynote to present and this is a tick box in their software.
I just follow this guide http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291879 provided by Microsoft to get the video up and running.

PPT 2010 (It's at work that's why I have to use it and not Keynote).
