Learn PowerPoint 2007: Add Trigger for Sound and Movie Actions
Slides with interactivity work great in scenarios where the presentation in question is not linear in which slides advance one after the other at set timings. Also, the person or audience for whom these slides are intended must be aware that some interactivity has been placed on these slides so that they can go ahead and click on some slide objects to cause an action to happen. This is especially true for trigger animations in which you have to click one object to result in an action happening for another object. Taking the concept of trigger animations further, you can make a click on a PowerPoint shape (or even an Action Button) to cause the sound or video clip on the slide to play, pause, resume, or stop.

Learn PowerPoint 2007: Movie Actions
Although PowerPoint classifies Movie Actions as an animation type, these are not strictly animations. Yet, since you access them through the Custom Animation task pane, we have included this tutorial in our Animations section. In simple terms, a Movie Action is something that causes an event for any inserted movie clip -- these are simple events such as Play, Pause, Resume, and Stop. By providing complete control over these actions within the Custom Animation task pane, PowerPoint empowers you to make these events interact with other animations, including Triggers.

A PowerPoint Blog: Learn PowerPoint 2010: Insert Videos (Movie Clips)
PowerPoint 2010 inserts videos in the same way as you would in previous versions -- but by default, it embeds the videos as part of the presentation file. This of course can balloon the file size -- and you can still link the video or movie clip rather than embedding it by following the alternative options explained in this tutorial.

A PowerPoint Blog: Reframe For Mac: The Indezine Review
Let us imagine that you have some video that you want to show within a PowerPoint presentation -- and the format is not something PowerPoint can accept. Looking at another example, what do you do if you want to create some video for display on a web site or mobile applications. I won't go into technical terms like frame rates or aspect ratios that video geeks use all the time -- but I do agree that there's still the need to convert videos between formats and other definitions all the time. Luckily, Reframe from Miraizon is one application that keeps things simple for me.
