[MacDV] Formatting problem: video in PowerPoint

[CM McDonald]

What's wrong with using QuickTime? It works fine with Powerpoint. You  
can just drag the files in to the slides, or you can import them.

You could always include a link to the QuickTime site for anyone who  
finds their Windows PC doesn't have the player or plug-in.
