There are some ways around this, but you will need a truly kick-butt system
for them to look nice.
1) Turn the movie into a GIF file and use this instead of the movie file.
The movie will be HUGE and may loose significant quality, but will play in
the background.
2) Look at Office FX for PowerPoint at
http://www.instanteffects.com/products_newInPro.html (not cheap but way
excellent stuff)
3) Look at Crystal Graphics new Video background add-in at
http://www.crystalgraphics.com/powerpoint/video.backgrounds.main.asp
4) And I know there are some another softwares that would do this, but the
names escape me at the moment.
