Using Movie Clips in PowerPoint Presentations: Part 1, Compatibility Issues

¹ Department of Radiology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, WCC, Room 306, 330 Brookline Ave., Boston, MA 02215.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to discuss common compatibility issues relating to the use of movie clips in PowerPoint presentations.

CONCLUSION. Our investigations found that successful display of movie clips in PowerPoint depends on the following three factors: movie file format, codec selection, and cross-platform compatibility. These factors primarily result from the rapid change in today's computer operating systems. Based on a compatibility study of common movie clips used in radiology presentations, a general guideline for preparing movie clips is presented. Also, a simple method is described for converting movie clips into compatible movie formats and reducing large movie clips to manageable file sizes to ensure smooth presentation.
