I saved a project to my flash drive, but my powerpoint has videos. When I put it into a different computer, the videos won’t play. My teacher said I had to embed them, but I don’t know how to do that. Does anyone know?

first locate tvideos thant inserted in powerpoint and the powerpoint file in one folder, then reinsert the videos into powerpoint. after that, you can copy the folder to a flash drive for transfering to other computers.
alternativly, if you have inserted too many videos in powerpoint and would not like to do the reinsert job, then you should consider converting Powerpoint file to video: http://www.dvd-ppt-slideshow.com/ppt-to-video/

There are 2 ways could help you present your ppt on different computers with videos.
Solution 1 — Package the video and Presentation
1. Put the video files and the PowerPoint presentation in a same folder.
2. Reinsert the video file to the PowerPoint presentation.
3. Package the entire folder into one archive file and send it to your flash drive.
Solution 2 — Embed the video
The difference between linked and embedded, please view:

Video can be embeded in presentation if you convert your PowerPoint presentation to Flash. All the files you inserting to the presentation will be embeded in the Flash after you converting.
So, all you need is to send the converted Flash to your flash drive.
BTW, there are many third party tools for you, anyone of them can help you convert your presentation. PPT2Flash (PowerPoint add-in http://snipurl.com/ppt-swf) for example.
