Why not use help?????
To insert a video file:
On the Insert menu, point to Movies and Sounds, click Movie from File, locate the folder that contains the file you want, and then double-click the file.
Note A movie or .gif file that you've added to Clip Organizer is found in the Clip Organizer folder within the My Pictures folder on your hard disk. Or, go to the original location for these files.
When a message is displayed, do one of the following:
To play the movie or GIF automatically when you go to the slide, click Yes.
To play the movie or GIF only when you click it, click No.
if you cannot insert the video clip that way you should insert it through windows media player:
In Windows, launch Windows Media Player (from the Start button, on the Accessories submenu).
On the File menu in Windows Media Player, click Open, and then type the path or browse for the file you want to insert, and click OK.
If the movie opens and plays, complete the remaining steps in this task.
If the movie cannot play, then it won't play when you open the Windows Media Player in PowerPoint, so don't complete this task. You can consult Windows Media Player Help to try to troubleshoot the problem. Also, in PowerPoint, search on "Troubleshoot movies" in the Ask a Question box on the menu bar to get more suggestions.
Display the slide you want the movie on in PowerPoint, and on the Insert menu, click Object.
Under Object Type, click Media Clip, and make sure Create new is selected. If you want the movie to display as an icon, select the Display as icon check box.
Click OK.
On the Insert Clip menu in Windows Media Player, click Video for Windows.
In the Files of type list, select All Files, select the file, and then click Open.
To play it, click the Play button just below the menu bar, on the upper left; to insert it onto your slide, click outside the movie frame.
