.mov to .avi or .wmv? Help?

Help! I've created a .mov file via Final Cut and need to convert the file to .avi or .wmv file and having trouble! I'm trying to convert the file to embed it into a PowerPoint. Is this possible to convert & use in a PowerPoint?

Are you working on a Windows system to do the conversion? Or your Mac? This is the QuickTime for Windows forum, so if you are using your Mac, you'll have the best luck getting advice if you ask in the QuickTime for Mac forum.

QuickTime for Windows cannot save in WMV format, and is very limited in what it can do with AVI (using only a very old codec). If you want to save to WMV, you'll need to look for other software that can convert a QuickTime movie (you'll need to make sure that the codec used in FCP is available for Windows) to WMV.
