My videos are usually long clips - several minutes, so I use a rather clunky method: I insert a hyperlink either to my video clip, or to a command line of the system video player pointing to the video clip, with any necessary command line parameters included. These methods mean that the system video player handles the video; you may need to turn off the video player application or cause it to live in the background.
Using this method, you must ensure that your video clip lives in a known location relative to the presentation file, and is moved to any host computer with it, as it is not now embedded.
