How do I get a Motion JPEG Open DML decompressor for PowerPoint?

[oldtearoses]

I put an AVI video clip file on a PowerPoint slide on my Macintosh
(Office98), and it works on my Mac, but when I run it on a PC(Office 2000), I
get the message that I need this decompressor.

Dear User,

Try to change the avi to mpeg and further proceed.
You can get a converter here :

or search for a converter in www.google.com

If powerpoint is complaining "Video not available, cannot find vids:mjpeg decompressor"

and

If the video clip in question has a 3 letter extension of

..avi

try renaming it to

..mpg
