Under the insert tab and video pull down list, I have the option of "video from file" and "video from clipart", but the option of "video from website" is there in the pull down menu but I can't "click" it. The option is "greyed out" please help ty.

Requirements for online video sites (Youtube, etc.) are as follows:
Flash Player 10+
Windows Media Player 10 or higher
32-bit Office 2010
Does your system meet all of those requirements?

I have all those and and still have no option to insert a video from the web. I just did an update as well and still no option. I have a widows 7, 64 bit operating system. Running Microsoft Office 32-bit 2010.
I just fixed a colleague's 32-bit PowerPoint 2010 running on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit by using the PPTAlchemy AddIn suggested by John SR Wilson above. Scroll down the page to the DOWNLOAD THE ADDIN link. As it isn't my PC I did not want to mess with uninstalling Windows Updates as discussed in the red updates at the bottom of the PPTAlchemy page. By using the Old Style 2007 link method (offered by the AddIn) my colleague was able to edit old PPT files and get the YouTube videos to play.

Maybe this page will help. You need to scroll down to the sections in RED to get the latest situation.
