I am a Windows user, and I have never used Keynote or PowerPoint on Mac. My colleague would like me to send him a video/movie file that he can incorporate into and play during a scientific presentation. He will use either Keynote or PowerPoint for Mac to create the presentation.
Which file format would be most convienent for inclusion into Keynote and/or PowerPoint for Mac presentations? Some file formats that I can create on Windows include:
- *.avi
- *.mov (QuickTime)
- *.mpg
- *.mpeg
On Windows, I have found it very difficult to successfully include videos/movies in PowerPoint presentations; usually the slideshow ends up crashing or the video stalls. I am hoping that the Apple developers have this perfected in Keynote and PowerPoint for Mac.

I've tested AVI, MOV, and MP4 in Keynote and PowerPoint for Mac. All three work fine in both applications.
