Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / December 2004MWV or AVI files
Dear Guys, It seems to me that PPT has never allowed me to embed .mwv file or .avi file in the slides. It has never been a problem for me to embed .mov or .mpeg files. Does anyone out there have the same problem or it is just me? Thanks. Jimmy Chiu Hong Kong Do you spell wrong the word-'.mwv' ? If possible , PPT can embed .wmv file and .avi file in the slides. ----------------- PowerPoint2DVD Software http://www.powerpoint-to-dvd.com > Do you spell wrong the word-'.mwv' ?

WMV files sure aren't ;-) Corentin  Signature--- Mac:MS MVP (Francophone) --- http://www.mvps.org - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com MVPs are not MS employees - Les MVP ne travaillent pas pour MS Remove "NoSpam" to e-mail me - Retirez "NoSpam" pour m'écrire But this is so strange. PPT is from the mighty Microsoft and .wmv is a Microsoft Media Player format. Why can't they make it work? Sigh... >>Do you spell wrong the word-'.mwv' ?

The MacBU makes Office for Mac but no one knows exactly who makes WMP for Mac (and I guess that considering the zillion bugs in this app, they don't want people to know who made it). Office for Mac is made by Mac people for Mac people. They decided to use all the MacOS resources they had (including QuickTIme). WMP is not a MacOS resource and they don;t make the app. It makes sense to me (unfortunately) that the support is not there in the Mac version :-( Corentin Signature--- Mac:MS MVP (Francophone) --- http://www.mvps.org - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com MVPs are not MS employees - Les MVP ne travaillent pas pour MS Remove "NoSpam" to e-mail me - Retirez "NoSpam" pour m'écrire Thanks for the insight. I guess no one really understands Microsoft. But it is OK. My little frustration is that I need to use clips in .wmv format from time to time and I don't have a converter (if any) to convert .wmv to .mov format. I just have to live with it for now. >>But this is so strange. PPT is from the mighty Microsoft and .wmv is a >>Microsoft Media Player format. Why can't they make it work? Sigh...

I just have to live with it for now. Depending on the exacto codec used, you can try ffmpeg X, or D-Vision (based on the same core). They should be able to export in .mov, and if not, at least to .avi (in a format you can play in QT if you install the DivX and 3ivx codecs for QT). Ther is also Forty-Two DVD-VX Plus, but I never tested it (too expensive compared to the other two IMVHO).
