Part 1:Best Video Formats for PowerPoint

The best video formats for PPT can be varied depending on what version of PowerPoint and what computer system you are using. Here is the details:

1. Best Video Format for PowerPoint 2013 or Later in Windows

In PowerPoint 2013 or later, you can add videos in formats of ASF, AVI, MP4, M4V, MOV, MPG, MPEG, SWF, and WMV. However, if your computer doesn't install according video and audio codec, the video embed may cannot playback. For the best video playback experience,

• If you are using a Windows 8 or Windows 10 computer, we recommend you to add .mp4 videos encoded with H.264 video and AAC audio to PowerPoint 2013 or later;

• If you a Windows 7 or Windows Vista or Windows XP computer, we strongly recommend you to insert WMV or MPEG-1 videos.

2. Best Video Format for PowerPoint 2010 in Windows

Video formats that work with PowerPoint 2010 in Windows include ASF, AVI, MPG, MPEG, SWF and WMV. Also, for the best playback experience, you'd better insert an video in WMV or MPEG-1 format to PowerPoint 2010.

3. Best Video Format for PowerPoint 2007 in Windows

Video formats that work with PowerPoint 2007 in Windows include ASF, AVI, MPG, MPEG and WMV. That's why you can't play MP4 in PowerPoint 2007/2003/2002/2000/97/95.

4. Best Video Format for PowerPoint 2011/2016 on Mac

Video formats that work with PowerPoint 2011 include MPEG4, MPG, AVI, MOV, QT, and SWF. Since whether you are using OS X 10.9 Mavericks, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.7 Lion or 10.6 Snow Leopard, MP4 is the native playback format, so MP4 is granted the best video format for PowerPoint 2011 and the future PowerPoint 2016.

Summary: Is there a format that works both on Windows and Mac? Sure! From the list above, you'll find that the MPG (MPEG-1) video is compatible with PPT both on PC and Mac.

Part 3: Powerpoint Cannot Play Media, What to Do?

Some users reported that after sending out the presentation, the recipients can not play the video/audio embeded. This is probably caused by a codec problem - the media file on the presentation is based on a codec that is unavailable on the recepients' computer. To solve the unavailable codec problem on powerpoint 2016/2013/2010:

• Select Info on the File tab;

• If the media inserted might have compatibility issues when played on another device, the Optimize Compatibility option will pop up.

• Click Optimize Compatibility and the PowerPoint will begin to improve the media file.

Note:

• Embedded subtitles and alternate audio tracks will be lost in this optimization process.

• If you can not play media in the presentation that you receive, you could install a third-party media decoder and encoder filter, such as ffdshow or DivX to solve the problem.

Since compatibility optimization will erase the subtitiles and alternate audio tracks, you may want to use FonePaw Video Converter Ultimate to convert the media to supported format before inserting the video in the presentation
