    I inserted in one of my slides a windows media player (wma) file in a powerpoint slide in my windows XP desktop.

    Then I played it in my ibook but unfortunately it does not work (playing of the movie file).

    The media file and powerpoint file is in the same folder in my ibook and I installed the windows media player for mac osX too.

    When I tried to insert the same movie file using the powerpoint osX it only highlights quicktime files.

    Is the windows media player really not feasible to play in Panther?

    thanks

    FYI, ".wma" designates a Windows Media Audio file, not video. A Windows Media Video file would have the extension ".wmv" Please advise.

    As far as I know, Powerpoint for Mac will only import QuickTime, MPEG and AVI video formats, so you would need to convert your Windows Media Video to one of the above formats.
