Embed a Video

[Xx7]

Is there anyway to embed a video in an excel file or user form? Any code appreciated!

Hi Xx7,

Was this what you were looking for? You can embed XL worksheets in PPTs and video.

That is useful. But, is there anyway to put a video directly in Excel?

Hey Xx7,

So I see you standing in front of a crowded audience running Excel. You are explaining coordinates, correlation coefficents and covariances down to the detail using Excel. Then you want to run a video from Excel?

I don't think there is anyway to show a video from Excel, without doing a Shell command to one of the many video playing software packages. Then if you shell out to it, are you really running it from Excel?

If you go to the object browser and look for VBA in Excel Library and search for the word "video" you get NO hits. If you search for the word "movie" you get a single hit on XLClipboardFormatMovie. Perhaps you should look there. But if a movie is possible to run through the Windows Clipboard, is it being run through Excel? Excel Only? Excel Alone?

My answer is NO! Now prove me wrong, and you have found your answer. We call that 'Proof by Contradiction" See: http://www.homeschoolmath.net/teachi...irrational.php

Fair enough. I like your idea of embedding a video in PPT. Thanks!!
