importing clips

[James]

i have a quicktime film clip that i would like to import to my slideshow for
my GCSE coursework, i am aware of 1 way, but so far this has not worked. the
way i tried was insert:movies and sounds:movies from file... it does not show
up in my documents. many other people im my year are also struggling, but
none of us have yet succeded in getting a file of this type to our work. can
anyone please help us?

James.
First lesson is in the use of capital letters in written english. The first
letter of every sentence should be a capital. Also the word "I" is always
capitalised. If you don't do this then your written work will be very hard
to read; indeed the reader may not bother - and you don't wnat that to
happen with GCSE work!

I use SUPER (free) to transcode the QuickTime film into WMV and then insert
it in my presentation

 

[David Marcovitz]

Unfortunately, PowerPoint for Windows does not allow you to insert
movies that are in the QuickTime format. You have two choices:

(1) Set up a hyperlink to the movie so you can click on the hyperlink,
and QuickTime (if it is present on the machine) will open to play the
movie.

(2) Convert the movie to a format (such as WMV or AVI) that PowerPoint
for Windows accepts. Another poster gave you a suggestion of a product
that does the conversion. I'm sure there are others.

I'm gonna have a look at that tomorrow I guess

For the moment, MP4 are transcoded with SUPER (to Avi or Wmv or whatever...)
while QuickTime is uninstalled
So I'll try with a .mov film

Steve, I can confirm that a .mov film can be transcoded with SUPER though
there is no Quicktime on my machine
Mov 2.34 Mo --> WMV 1.2 Mo ; AVI 1.44 Mo ; VOB 5.58 Mo (best quality) ; FLV
0.541 Mo (second best quality !)

That's all folks!

VOILA un bon dimanche!

Thanks. And it turns out that this is something new to SUPER w/in the
last
year or so. My older version wouldn't do the job but after updating it
...
VOILA!

Can you confirm something for me Jean-Pierre?

In order to convert QuickTime files with SUPER, you must have QuickTime
installed on the PC.

True, False or Other? ;-)

Of course, once the file's converted to WMV on your own PC, you
wouldn't
need
QuickTime on other PCs.
