4 Ways to Insert FLV to PowerPoint for Presentation

Inserting FLV to a PowerPoint helps make a better, more appealing, and more interesting presentation. Unfortunately, FLV is a native document file created by Adobe Flash program, in the form of .f4v and FLV format, which is incompatible with the PowerPoint and cannot be attached to a PowerPoint directly. However, the PowerPoint supports many other file formats such as AVI, WMV, and many others. Therefore, the practical way to attach an FLV video to a PPT is converting them to other formats that can be inserted into the PowerPoint directly. This article has outlined four effective ways of attaching FLV to PowerPoint slides, including converting files to compatible formats using Wondershare UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate).
