Parvez Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I have a small movie clip which is in (.mov) format. I guess its QuickTime's format. when i try to insert that movie in Microsoft Powerpoint it doesnt play because Win Media player does not suppor the file format. Can you guys tell me a good coverter? I want to convert .mov to .mpeg so i can play in powerpoint. I downloaded one but since it has a trail period.. it only converts 50% Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parvez Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Erm.. well i actually wasn't talking about this one. The thing is... i gotta do a presentation for my class on some biology topic. I have this video that i wanted to show but it doesnt play in powerpoint because of the file format (.mov) and also win media player doesnt play that too! So, i was thinking to convert that .mov clip to .mpeg so i can play that in powerpoint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 WMP plays it if you have QuickTime installed or if you have the QuickTime Alternative installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_ Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 He's talking about PowerPoint support, not Windows Media Player. Here's a good free converter: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/GXTra...er/1041539980/1 http://www.last.fm/user/Matt714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 i believe he said that "and also win media player doesnt play that too!". i was just saying that it does work with WMP. also if Powerpoint uses the WMP control to play its files, then it should work too.

NukaCola Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 well i can only suggest you to wait till the VidFlash.com will start working. its online converter so you will be able to convert everything you need without installation any converter and avoid any codec problems. It will start in middle April. i cant wait. i have regestered there but i havent got a confirmation email. but it will starts soon. good luck bamn!

shanx Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I know this is old thread... but I wanna say my opinion too. Well, the problem is PowerPoint which seems very picky with videos. There is only one thing that definetely work - WMV You can try trialware VidCrop in order to convert MOV to WMV. This would be the best choice I guess. http://www.geovid.com/VidCrop/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 3, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 3, 2007 You can try trialware VidCrop in order to convert MOV to WMV. Why bother with some trialware when there's Media Convert which is free. The only downside is you have to upload the video, wait for it to convert, and then download the converted video.
