How do you convert clips to a different format?

i.e.
I want to convert this thing I filmed from my digicam (.MOV) to another format that MS PowerPoint will let me load up.
I'm a n00b, please be specific of programs and use.
Thanks!

I Rarely see conversions from .mov files to other files....and know of no programs

but try this....it should be straight foward.......should ask u to just open the file and convert most likely....i could be wrong......read up on it more....and wait for more ppl to post

When I d/led that and opened it, it just keeps opening in winzip.
I tried unzipping it, but nothing happened.

hmm what i suggest i guess....since no one else is posting up........mmm does ur digital camera hook up to a t.v.?...or vcr?...or anything............cause i remember at one point in time schools in peel didn't have DVD players for us to use.......just put ur whole powerpoint presentation on tape
i had to do this once cause i had some of my stuff in some weird format and it was on DVD disc and so i just connected **** and played it on tape......lol hahah it worked poverty.......but hey it worked
..............if not just play the video file seperate from the presentation...........
depending if ur still in high school......teacher won't care really.....especially in brampton high schools......lol man they'll let it slide for sure........lol just say u took the initiative to go out and film something on ur digitial camera.......and u just couldn't get it to go on ur presentation cause of formatting and coversion issues......like somehow work it into ur presentation or something

like just be honest in front of the class.......just say i have a video, however i had some issues with converting this from my digital camera into my powerpoint presntation.......so here is the video..and just play it on the schools laptop i'm assuming make sure htey have quicktime though......lol then jump back into ur presentation quickly.....actually yah multitask that ****......

lol keep quicktime open in the bottom with the video cued up...and keep ur presentation running.....and ur set

Yeah that was plan B, to stop my presentation in the middle and show people the clips outside of powerpoint. I really wanted to have a nice flowing presentation, but it looks like noone can share their knowledge with a n00b like me
I appreciate your help though, thanks bro
