I'm trying to embed a music file into my PowerPoint Presentation that I need
to distribute on a DVD.

I need it embedded since it must play on different computers that have
different DVD drive assignments. The help says that there is a limit (100Kb
default) that if the file is over this it's linked. I set the limit to 5000
Mb (larger than my music file size) but the music file does not get embedded.
What am I doing wrong (if anything)?

thanx, mark

ONLY wav files can be enbedded, ALL other multimedia types are linked.

Your music file is probably not a WAV.

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation

thank you, that answers my question, but it's not the answer I wanted... :-(

The docs do not state this restriction.

thanx for the answer, mark

Read the link I gave you. You don't have to embed files in order for them to
play on CD/DVD, even with different drive designations.
