Can't find a video for a Project, help?
« on: May 03, 2010, 02:41:11 PM »
I have to do a powerpoint for my US Government class at school for our 4th quarterly assessment. My topic is on International Piracy (aka Somalia) and I would like to put in a video of actual footage of a fight or something ( My class would be bored to hell if i put in a news report, high school seniors lol). I looked all over for a live video of the Navy Seal snipers but couldnt find it, anybody else know where i might beable to find something?

You can embed an avi, mpg or wmv file into a powerpoint slide.

There is a great free program called 'freeflvconverter' that browses, downloads, and converts flv's to .wmv's.  Works with most 'tubes' sites.
