Yeah I'm not sure where this issue comes from. It's quicktime I guess but it seems to affect different codecs and containers to different extents.

use GIFs!

rename `mytalk.pptx` to `mytalk.zip`
Unzip
cd to mytalk/ppt/media

for i in *.mp4; do
ffmpeg -i "$i" "${i%.mp4}.gif"
done

Add gifs in place of original movies. They loop perfectly.
The ffmpeg command can be customised to improve quality.

Beautiful. I was on that bridge yesterday taking photos but it was very cloudy and grey. Picked the wrong day, obviously!
