How do you add a QuickTime movie into PowerPoint for presentation?
“Hey, guys, I have a QuickTime MOV movie taken with my new iPhone X. I need to insert it into PowerPoint for presentation. The problems is that I received an error message said that ‘PowerPoint couldn’t insert movie from the selected file. Either the file is non-standard, or QuickTime is not installed properly’… Is there any way to work around this? Please suggest a solution, thanks!”

This issue occurs because PowerPoint can play back only QuickTime movies (.mov and .qt files) that use compression schemes with corresponding Media Control Interface-compatible codecs. When you read a QuickTime movie, a Video for Windows decompressor decompresses the QuickTime files. If the decompressor does not support the compression method used by the QuickTime movie, the decompressor cannot display the movie on the screen.

To solve the issue, you need to convert the QuickTime file to a Microsoft Windows video (.wmv) file or other compatible multimedia file formats (.avi, .asf, .mpg/.mpeg) that PowerPoint can insert. Check out a simple guide on how to convert QuickTime MOV to WMV for PowerPoint.
