Hi Everyone,
I love this site and am creating some drill for my own department. Some of the videos on this site are great and would be great to use in my presentations. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to copy the clips to us in Power Point form?

If the video opens with windows media player you can save it to your hard drive. Sometimes you can right click on the link and click "save file as". There are video and picture capture programs on the internet but a lot are just trial versions that quit after 30 days.
In microsoft office power point you create a slide and then open the slide design menu. Select the the slide design with the media options, it looks like it has a small movie cam, a still cam, bar graph etc. Click on the movie cam icon. It will open a window with preloaded video clips, you will have to import your video clips. You can then insert the clips into your power point. The clip can playback can be automatic or play when clicked. good luck
If you have Real Player on your PC you will see a pop up that says download this video.
If you do you get an FLV file. You then need to convert that to an AVI or a WMV file then imbed sme in your PPT.
