These are longstanding issues with Powerpoint, and there is not one answer. If you are on a PC, the codecs used when saving the .avi versus the codecs installed on the PC can make a difference. On Macs, the format depends on the OS you are running. In older versions of OSX, .mov files work better, but the newer Qucktime version won't run those at all. We are all victims of the codec-wars.
In all versions of Powerpoint I have used, the program will not remember to loop the movie once you have set it to loop. I've wrestled with this since at least 2004. Microsoft has not kept their program up-to-date for the video-driven world we now operate in. It still focuses on clip are and other nonsense. Moving a movie-rich presentation from computer-to-computer remains problematic, even if you save as a "Package."
On a Mac, Keynote is the best solution for solving movie problems if you can adopt to it. Has anybody tried playing movies in OpenOffice? I tried once a few years ago, but it was not a positive experience.
Frustratedly,
Michael
