I'm creating a powerpoint presentation and am converting it to video to be played on computers so that powerpoint doesn't need to be installed on clients computers. I need to know what format to make the video so it is compatible with both a PC and a MAC. If not, what video format does ALL macs have when.
Jun 07, 2011 What container format should I use? I could probably find software to transfer the video to something like.avi or.wmv, but I don't know what is the best way to go. The Mac and PC compatibility of this video should be as standard as is reasonable in today's time. Any help would be great, thanks. Apple apps such as QuickTime Player, Photos, and Keynote work with many kinds of audio and video formats. Some apps prefer specific formats, but QuickTime movie files (.mov), most MPEG files (.mp4,.m4v,.m4a,.mp3,.mpg), some AVI and WAV files, and many other formats usually work in most apps without additional software.

I need to know what format to make the video so it is compatible with both a PC and a MAC. If not, what video format does ALL macs have when they are taken out of the box? Best Answer: The most universal codec there is would be avi-xvid. Granted this is more intel than mac, but mac will play it. This is your best idea for a cross platform, go with avi.
There other avi codecs, but xvid is definitely the most used and most compatible and offers very good quality and compression I guess I should mention mpeg, but not sure if it is a codec. It is what most people convert from, but not to. However most video programs have an option to write 'raw mpeg' It is a bulkier files size, but I guess in terms of being the truly most universal, it would be that one.
Finally, native video for a mac is mov as wmv is for windows. Many windows computers will play mov, but some have trouble and need a plug in in order to do it. Tell us some more. Upload in Progress.

How to Upload Videos to iMovie As you probably know, iMovie is an easy-to-use video editor for Apple devices. You don’t need any video editing expertise to use it to edit and watch the videos you upload through iTunes or your device’s camera. Unfortunately, despite being the most popular video editor for Apple devices, iMovie can be rather picky with its import formats. You’ll have no problem with importing MP4 to iMovie, but unless your videos for import are MPEG-4 (MP4), MPEG-2, AVCHD, MOV (QuickTime files), DV, or HDV (High Definition Video), you’ll need to convert them. The good news is that Movavi Video Converter can help you do this quickly and easily for more than 180 media formats and every Apple device that supports iMovie. All you need to do is download our software and follow the simple guide below, which explains the process for converting video and DVD to the iMovie format.
