Yes. 

Unfortunately we don't have QT Pro. Is there anything else? I thought mpegs 
were compressed files themselves? Why would they be so large?

We've had several PCs with QT that will not work with Powerpoint. There's no 
point using it. Plus the PC people don't want to download and install more 
software on their computers for all sorts of reasons, some "legitmate" and some 
not. The point is I'm looking for a solution that the easiest for the PC people 
and requires the least amount of fuss on their part.
