Inserting a video into PowerPoint 2010 and 2013 and keeping file size reasonable

After a very frustrating time trying to work out why some new Powerpoints with inserted video had become so huge, this page explaining the difference in the way Powerpoint 2010 & 2013 handles video compared with earlier versions has clarified things.

On the Video Insert menu, Powerpoint 2010 & 2013 offers two options:-

INSERT i.e. embed which keads to HUGE pptx FILES     and
LINK - which does what it says on the tin which leaves the presentation at its original size...

Insert or link to a video that is stored on my PC - PowerPoint
