I've been given a flash video at work and the boss wants me to stick it into a powerpoint presentation for him

I'm lead to beleve you can include *.avi files but I'd need to convert it (which I've no idea how to achive)

whats the best way to go about this ?
Any suggestions / advice is welcome

cheers

just for the record the 'swftoavi' one didn't work properly
but one of the other guys here found a similar on that did the job (even though it left an annoying watermark in the corner)
