making movies from a space plot

Dear colleagues,
1. Using NEURON 4.3.0 on Windows, I am trying to make a movie of a "space plot" to show on a "Power point" presentation.
2. I tried using the Gif-gif-gif program. However, the movie file can only be played using Internet Explorer but not on Power Point.

I would appreciate some help on that topic.
1. Can I somehow convert the .gif file so that it will run on Power Point?
2. Alternatively, is there another procedure for making such movie on Windows?

Sincerely,
Ron Amir

Easiest would be either to tell powerpoint to use a WWW browser to open the gif file, or to tell your OS to do that.

Do a WWW search on
powerpoint "animated gif"
if you're still having problems getting animated gifs to work in powerpoint.

Thanks Ted I believe I sorted that problem already. It seems that those animated gif files can run by media players hyperlinked to powerpoint files.
