TOOLS?

Tools recommended:
  • RealPlayer - Downloading videos from YouTube and Converting them into other formats (e.g. wmv).
  • Format Factory - Converting videos to any other video format you can imagine.

If you are using PowerPoint 2003 (or 2010) no worries, because inserting videos into PowerPoint is as easy as toasting...Insert > Movies and Sounds > Movie from File (2003)...



You might also want to check out my previous article entitled 2 Juicy Ways to Insert YouTube Videos into PowerPoint, but I believe the tips shared above is even juicier. Trust me!
