powerpoint video problem

For some reason powerpoint does not work correctly on both pc and mac with the same exact video files.

I have a video file that is a ".mpg" file type. I added it onto the powerpoint using a PC, then transferred the powerpoint to a MAC and all the sudden the video won't play. Then I re-added the same video file while using the MAC for editing powerpoint, and all the sudden it worked. Then I transferred the MAC-edited PP to a PC and this time the video did not work on the PC! What is going on here?

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I need to get my videos to work in powerpoint on both PC and MAC.

It sounds like Quicktime and Windows Media Player aren't in agreement.

how is it possible for the same exact video file with the same codec, not able to be played on both computers?

Ain't life fun?
Inter-operable is such a great idea that it's a pity it doesn't work more often.
You are going to have to make one presentation for the MAC and the other for the PC.
