Video clips in PowerPoint

[Guest]

I'm trying to insert video clips that come from my digital camera into a
PowerPoint presentation. They have an extension of .mov, and PowerPoint says
that it does not support that file type. I can view them in Quicktime.

What's the best format of video clips to use to insert into PowerPoint. My
limitations are my digital camera, and I think they save them in the .mov
format.

Thanks for any assistance.

Are you sure they are quicktime files? Sometimes digital cameras use "mov"
as a file extension for all "movies", though they usually output mpgs. Try
to change the file extension to .avi or mpg and see whether you can insert
them into PowerPoint then.
