How do I insert mpeg files into PowerPoint 2000?

I am trying to insert an mpeg file into PowerPoint 2000, but I only get a
black box. Where do I get the decoder/filter that will allow PowerPoint to
show the video?

Read this as your first stop in dealing with multimedia elements in PPT.

Does the video play in other applications on your computer (WMP or other)?
