Playing .mov file on a PC

[Guest]

I have a powerpoint presentation with a movie linked on one of the pages.
The movie plays fine on a Mac, but will not play on a PC despite everything I
have tried. In addition, on the Mac there is an object showing where the
movie is but it doesn't show up on the PC. I hope someone can help. My
presentation is tomorrow.

Thanks,

Cory

*.mov is an Apple proprietary format and is not supported on a Windows PC.
I'd suggest converting it to something more PC friendly.

Either convert it, as Austin recommends. Or do not embed it, but only link
it using an action setting, so that it will be played in Quicktime player in
a separate window.

Best regards,
