I'm looking for a sleek way to display Powerpoint presentations and video footage in sequence. Embedding video in .ppsx is not something i want to do, reasons are plenty (video footage being VC-1 1080p would be the first).

Is there a media player (needs to run on win32) capable of playing both formats?

My hackish way of doing this would be a .cmd with

powerpnt.exe bobloblaw.ppsx
mplayer.exe -fs video.wmv
pwoerpnt.exe whitepowerbill.ppsx
and so on

Of course, this has a lots an lots of drawbacks, including begin really hard to break out of the chain :)

Thanks a lot.
