Quicktime movie is getting slightly bigger and defocused.

I made a short movie and tried to play in Powerpoint. The movie becomes slightly bigger and defocused when I play it in powerpoint. But, it worked well with quicktime player. Folks, do you have any idea what is going on here and what could be a good solution?

Thank you

Hi,

PowerPoint itself does not play movies. It uses QuickTime to play them.

If you play the movie in QuickTime player and make the window a little
larger do you see the same problem? If so, then probably the movie is
just a low resolution movie.

When you insert a movie into PowerPoint you can adjust the size that it
will play by dragging the corners of the movie's window when in Normal
view in PowerPoint. Adjust the size so that it looks best.
