i can add the movie file [as downladed from camera],
however it does not open or play [just black]

have Quick Ttime 7 Pro

cannot find how to change the movie file extension - it does not appear to
have one?

any help at all much appreciate!!!

First, you will need to show all file extensions. Windows has a nasty habit
of hiding these. That option is found in regular windows explorer => Tools
=> File Options. Just uncheck the box that says something like "Hide
extensions of know file types"

Second, playing movies in PowerPoint is something like playing the lotto.
If it works, it will be wonderful, but don't bank on it. However there is
good news, there is an add-in that does a wonderful job of inserting movies
and actually having them play. Check out PlaysForCertain.com
