If you can afford to get something other than Powerpoint, I suggest looking into Opus from Digital Workshop ( http//www.digitalworkshop.com/ ). It comes in a range of different "power levels" at a range of different prices.
I have Opus Creator, and can say that it definitely allows you to embed video into your presentations. And it*s very easy to use.

I want to download the Dawn Duck commercial. But that*s the only one.
I think you should offer one commercial free to all registered users. I*m not paying 2 bucks just for one 30 sec commercial.
Nice site backend, btw.

Ok, Art4x, let*s put this in perspective, a la a parable...
Once there was a duck named Don. Don was a normal duck, except that he didn*t believe in relationships and had a false sense of entitlement.
One night, Don was feeling a bit thirsty, and was also very horny, so he went to the local duck bar, which happened to be running an all-you-can-drink-for-two-bucks-for-an-entire-month special. He waddled up to the bartender and said, "I just want one beer. Make it a Duckweiser."
The bartender fetched Don a Duckweiser and said, "That*ll be two bucks."
Don was shocked. "But I just want one beer!," he quacked. "It should be free! I*m not paying two bucks for just one beer."
The bartender shrugged his shoulders, put the beer back in the cooler and said "Sorry, buddy. We have to pay the bills somehow, or this bar would close. All us employees work for free, but it still costs money to run the joint. The lease, equipment and utilities ain*t free, ya know."
Don was outraged! He quacked a few choice phrases at the bartender, turned around, flipped up his tail and waddled away.
Poor Don! He was still thirsty, and still very horny too.
As Don waddled to the exit, he noticed Dawn, the cheapest and easiest girl duck in town, standing over by the door. Don immediately waddled up to her and said, "You*re cheap and easy and I want to have sex with you tonight. Will you have sex with me tonight?"
Dawn giggled and said, "Well, if you get me one beer, sure. I*ll have sex with you tonight if you get me one beer."
Don couldn*t believe his bad fortune. "What!?," he quacked. "But I just want to have a one night stand! I*m not going to get you a beer just to have sex with you for one night!"
Dawn shrugged her shoulders and said "Your loss, buddy." She then turned around, flipped up her tail and waddled over to the bartender.
Don was furious! He looked around one last time at all the happy ducks having a grand old time in the bar, and quacked at the top of his voice for all to hear, "I*m thirsty and I*m horny and I*m going home!"
Then Don went home. Without a beer, and without a girl.
Once home, Don drank a glass of water from the faucet, gave himself a wingjob during a "Ducks Gone Wild" commercial, and fell asleep.
And the moral of the story is, if you*re a cheap old duck, you*re out of luck. razz
lol
nice retort Clay. smile
and art4x - the free ads are in the badland section.
I thinlk you SOULD offer one commercial free to all users!
Just not the Dawn Duck one.
the other moral is--there*s no such thing as a free lunch.
otherwise the majority of internships would be paid a living wage, as opposed to the whole "we*re doing you a favor by allowing you to work here for free and *leran* " scam.
as soon as i get hired i*ll become an ad grunt-- until then, my two dollars a month is going to four extra cans of black beans.
if any of you think im joking, come on over i make a mean black bean quesadilla. you bring the cheese and tortillas, okay?
ha!
that which does not kill you only makes you bitter!
grin
..."work here for free and *leran* * scam."?!?!?!
Your not even taking advantage of the internship, if thats what your "leraning".
Two dollars a month is a steal, unless your still on a 2400 baud modem.
I*ll pass on any food products, but thanks for offering.
I*d like to simply reply by saying that I*m an Economics teacher in California, and I think this may be the single greatest website on the planet. razz
Seriously, the two bucks is amazing and the fact is that I*ll finally get to show my seniors some of the great commericals of all time. Thanks for the site Dabitch.
BTW, anyone know how to incorporate the commericals into presentations (Powerpoint etc?)

I actually gave a powerpoint presentation today that incorporated the IBM "Big Guys" commercial. Powerpoint 2002 can*t play quicktime .mov files, so you*ll have to do something like this
Download the video onto your computer. Open Quicktime and load the video.
In Powerpoint, go to the Slide Show menu, point to Action Buttons, then select the Movie action button. Draw a button on the slide where you want the video to appear. The Action Settings dialog box appears; click Run program and then click Browse. Find quicktime.exe (probably c\program files\quicktime\quicktime.exe) and click that.
Here*s what will happen when you click the button it will switch over to quicktime, and since the movie is pre-loaded, just press the play button to show the clip.
It may require some playing around with it to get it to work. If you want to show multiple commercials, you may just have to open them from Quicktime.
Alternately, you can download OpenOffice.org and use their presentation maker. It allows you to put .mov files right into a presentation.
what says a single user doesn*t register himself or herself like a gazzillion times so they can get their *one free* commercial?
cuz ya know if u don*t like paying $2 right now when will you ever want to pay it? you*d prolly just make a new account everytime you wanted to dload a commercial and not only you but a good portion of the one-timer people would do the same. eek
suck on that
p.s.
i liked the dawn duck bar story too good show mate
Good one Monark. I may not totally be an "active regular" here, but I*ve subscribed twice already. I find this site very useful when I need to locate an ad.
