| mov files are compressed with a scheme that Powerpoint won't work with.
You can't just rename the extension because mpg and mov are different formats and are handled differently via different codecs.
The trick is to export the mov file to an avi (you can do this from within quicktime pro)... you have to use the Cinepak compression for it to work in powerpoint but if you play about some other compression schemes then some of them may/will work.
You could also export a mov to a mov but select the Cinepak compression scheme instead of the default. Either of these methods should let you insert it into the presentation
Both these methods assume you have a copy of Quicktime Pro.
