"Quicker" answer (the one you guessed, but not the one you want....) PowerPoint on the PC only supports the early versions of Quicktime. You would probably be best off to convert it to another type of movie.

I have been given a QuickTime video to embed in a PPT presentation . . . but the only way I can get it to play is to insert an action setting that will play the Quicktime video . . . the problem is that it plays in the QuickTime window. Any suggestions on how to use this video right on the slide, or do I need to find a way to convert quicktime to an mpeg or wmv or something? Thank You!
