Can't insert movie

[dmp]

I'm running XP and having trouble inserting mpeg movies
into ppt. I get the message, "Powerpoint couldn't insert
a movie from the selected file. Either the file is non-
standard or Quicktime is not installed properly." I think
the problem started when I upgraded to windows media
player 9.0 but I'm not sure. Any help will be appreciated.

You can test whether the Mpeg movie codec is compatible with PowerPoint by
the following steps:
1.Click Start, and then click Run.
2.In the Open box, type mplay32.exe
3.Click OK to start Media Player.
4.On the File menu, click Open.
5.Select the Mpeg movie that you want to verify, and then click Open.

Note that the MCI Media Player Mplay32.exe is not the same program as the
Windows Media Player.

Where did you get the video? My best guess is that it is not a standard
mpeg file and does not follow the Redbook standard.
