How to extract embedded video files from PPTX PowerPoint files

By -
I had to pull a video out of a PowerPoint PPTX file today.
Here's a great tip for getting content out of a PPTX file.
We use this tip from time to time in our Live Webcasting when presenters give us a Powerpoint that we need to synchronize with the webcast stream and they have a video in the PPT they need us to switch to as well.

You'll need to be able to see the extensions on a Mac or a PC.

Change the extension of .pptx with a .zip. Ignore the warning Windows or Mac OS might give you.

"Unzip" the .zip file, on a Mac just extract it and look inside. All the media files, images, jpegs/pngs, mp3's and any embedded video files will be visible and available. You can copy and move them at will. When you're done, rename your PowerPoint file with the pptx extension.

Live Webcasting for Silicon Angle in Orlando ICV used our fiber connected video flypacks and our Panasonic 3100 cameras for a multi-day live webcast from the Microsoft Ignite conference. Crews shot from the show floor. We built 2 sets with trussed lighting and full switch gear.  With multiple crews shooting both handheld and with studio configurations we captured three days of content. Using our TriCasters we inserted lower third graphics, rolled in pre-produced videos, and sent the content to multiple streaming locations including YouTube.
