open PPP for MAC in a PC and reverse

[Guest]

I need to get a PPP created in a MAC, open it in PPP2003 for PC, insert some
video files and then either save it to a disk to play on the MAC again or
upload it to a server to be downloaded and used on MAC. I am a novice with
PP. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

This should be simple as long as you use video file formats than can be
played on both the Mac and Windows - MPEG works best in this case.

Thanks Geetesh. Which MPEG would you reccomend? Are there any versions of PP
that are not compatibel with others across platforms?
PPN

MPEG here would be strictly MPEG 1 - compatibility itself is a very broad
topic - the file format for the last 8 versions of PowerPoint is the same (4
each on Mac and Windows) - so workarounds are everywhere!

Here's a big list of compatibility issues:
