title: Playing MP4 file in Powerpoint
body: <p>I have a huge MP4 file (4GB) an hour long video. I want to extract port of the file. So I used the following command  to extract 70 seconds(00:01:10) of video  starting from 11 minutes</p>
  
  <p>ffmpeg  -i   INPUT.mp4  -ss 00:11:00   -t 00:01:10 -c:v copy -c:a copy OUTPUT.mp4</p>
  
  <p>Now I got a small file extracted from Input.MP4
  The output.mp4 file size is still big(90 MB). So I used the following command</p>
  
  <p>ffmpeg -i OUTPUT.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 30 SmallSizeVideo.avi</p>
  
  <p>I got SmallSizeVideo.avi file which is approximately 6MB.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Powerpoint 2010. I want to insert the video in Powerpoint and play. </p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately when I embed SmallSizeVideo.avi Powerpoint is unable to play</p>
  
  <p>1) Is my approach correct?
  2) What is the best way to situation like me to play small portion of clips in powerpoint</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
