How to export a movie from Powerpoint 2010?

How to export embedded video from PowerPoint 2010 to an external file programmatically using MS Office PIA (Primary Interop Assemblies) or in other ways? Attaching a video to a presentation is a new feature in Powerpoint 2010, and I cannot find a solution for this.

PPTX files are simply compressed archives. The embedded video should be stored inside it somewhere, perhaps in a folder with the media, but I'm not sure.

You can use something like DotNetZip to eject the media and save it to the right place.

Please note: this means that you do not need to use PIA at all, which is preferable if you do this on the server, for example.

Step 1. Make sure that all files on your PC display the names of the file extensions (in the form of filename.pptx, filename.exe, etc.). If not, enable them:

  • Go to Windows Explorer

    If you don’t have a toolbar or shortcut (usually a folder with a magnifying glass overlaid on top of it), you can:

    • Go to the start menu
    • Select Run
    • Type "explorer.exe" in the box
    • Press Enter
  • In Windows Explorer, select "Folder Options" in the "Tools" menu
  • Click the View tab
  • Find "Hide file extensions for known file types" and clear the check box.

Step 2. Select the PowerPoint file, press “F2” (or right-click and select “Rename”) and change the name of the presentation by adding .zip to the end. (e.g. filename.pptx.zip).

Step 3: Click Yes if the following dialog box appears after changing the name. Step 4. Unzip the file and open it. You can find the ppt folder in it. Open the "media" folder in the "ppt" folder, you will find all the movies inserted into PowerPoint.

On Windows / Linux / Mac it works the same way:

  • Copy your ppt (so as not to damage the original)

  • Change the name by adding .zip;

  • Are you sure? Yes you:

  • Zip creates a folder from your file, which you can easily access.

  • Find the Ppt folder in the Media folder;

  • Files are in order of extension, most videos are grouped together.

  • What all.
