Extracting a video or photo from PPTX

If you need an embedded video extracted from PowerPoint it’s as simple as the following:

1) Rename the suffix of the .pptx file to .zip

2) You’ll get the following error

PPT-error

Just select “Use .zip”

3) Then open or unzip the file.

4) Open the folder PPT and then Media and you should find what you need.

This works with PowerPoint Mac 2011 as well as PowerPoint 2013 on Windows.
