This is the message I receive when I try and insert a
mpeg file..

(powerpoint couldn't insert a movie from the selected
file. Either the file is non-standard, or quicktime is
not installed properly)

jB,

See the 1st "Workaround bugs & limitations" tip about 3/4 of the way down
this page...

Please report back if this neat trick works for you....I've had 99% success
rate so far.

If it does not work, please report back what type of movie file it is (avi,
mpeg, mov etc)

Cheers
TAJ Simmons
