How to Embed an MVI Into PowerPoint

How to Embed an MVI Into PowerPoint thumbnail
Adding multimedia to your presentation is a great way to keep your audience's attention.

Musical Video Interactive (MVI) files are packed with audio, video and other features. One of the most popular uses of an MVI file is to add lyrics to music and video files. MVI files cannot be embedded directly into your PowerPoint presentation due to format incompatibilities between MVI and Microsoft's PowerPoint software. However, you can convert it into one of the PowerPoint 2010 compatible formats such as AVI, MPEG or MP4 by using an MVI converter.

Things You'll Need

  • PowerPoint 2010
  • MVI-converting software
