See here for an example of how to unzip with VBA: http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s7/win002.htm

The movie files are in the folder unzippedFileFolder\ppt\media

The challenge will be to determine which movie-file belongs to which movie in the slides.  I think you would have to read the "slide#.xml" files in unzippedFileFolder\ppt\slides to find the reference to Movie1, Movie2, etc.  The movies are named incrementally based on the order they are inserted into the presentation, not in slide order.

Cheers

Rich

    Probably the easiest way would be to save a copy as pptx, change the suffix to zip and locate the media folder where the video will be. Then move it out.

    The File Scripting Object will do most of this or you could use the Open XML SDK.
