I am trying to view a powerpoint presentation with embeded video. When I click on the play video I get a message codec unavailable. Please help if you can I am using a macbook pro version 10.7.4 thanks
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
It has nothing to do with powerpoint. You must figure out what the embedded video is encoded with, and find a way to install that codec.
Perian is a helper app that helps quicktime play lots of formats, but I don't know if it will work for your problem.
If it is a wmv file, Flip4Mac might help.

Thanks Barney- 15E. What is the best way to find out what the embeded video is encoded with and what is the best way of downloading codec?
I don't know. Ask the person that gave it to you?
If Perian or Flip4Mac can't decode it, then you'd have to ask the source.
If you can extract the video from powerpoint, VLC might be able to play it.
Thank you Barney- 15E. Your original suggestion worked I purchased Flip4Mac pro €29.95 and all is good.
which codec do I need for ms powerpoint
