We're using small mp4 video clips in our docx documents which we like to import and convert to the actual files.

While pasting these clips in the document they are saved as oleObject files under word/embeddings 

We can retrieve the oleObject file using an xPath query to retrieve the r:id of the oleObject from word/document.xml which refers to the Id in word/_rels/document.xml.rels but it is not yet the mp4 file we want to process.

Is there a way to retrieve and convert oleObjects to the actual files as specified in the header of the oleObject?
