How do I get a Quicktime movie file to play in Powerpoint?

[Guest]

I have a couple of movies I made with I movie that I want to put into a PPT
2003 presentation. The help menus are no help. Any suggestions?

iMovie allows you to export as AVI. I thought you had to have QuickTime
Pro to do this, so I bought QuickTime Pro for my lab of laptops, but even
the ones that I didn't install QuickTime Pro on could do it. When
Exporting, choose QuickTime with Expert Settings, and you will have the
option to save as an AVI movie. This is the best way to have it run on a
Windows machine.

Alternatively, you will have to install QuickTime on the Windows machine.
Then you can hyperlink to the QuickTime file, rather than Insert Movies
and Sounds.

You'll need to convert them to another format because PowerPoint will only
accept QT version 1 or 2. See
