Can I link video to Powerpoint 2008 for Mac ?

[anchorpoints]

Hi,



I have a small video clip (4Mo) I would like to link to my Powerpoint presentation in such a way that if I send the latter by email, the clip is an integral part of the Powerpoint file and will play automatically without mishap. If possible, I want to avoid having simply to 'insert video' because this simply 'links' the video and usually will not play on another computer (even if I send the video separately as an attachment at the same time as the Powerpoint file). It seems to be such a simple operation, but till now my reading on various forums leads me to conclude that it may not be possible. Why not ? Or am I mistaken ? What's the problem ? At present, I use the Mp4 format.
