I can report the mirror image of your problem.  When I create .avi
movies (jpg compression or no compression) using ImageJ on a Mac running
Snow Leopard, these won't play in Powerpoint on a Mac running 10.5.8. 
The incompatibility appears only when the movies are inserted into
Powerpoint.   ImageJ on the 10.5.8 machine can read them.   The
workaround is to open them in ImageJ on the 10.5.8 machine and re-save
as .mov files for Quicktime.  These play in Powerpoint on 10.5.8 but not
on Snow Leopard.  As usual, the end users are the victims of the codec
wars--and Powerpoint always makes the problems worse.

Has anyone using the MacOSX Snow Leopard (10.6.x) had any issues with
playing uncompressed .avi files in QuickTime (either QuickTimeX Player
or
QuickTime 7.6.6 for 10.6.x)?

My movies play fine on a machine with OSX 10.5.8 using QT 7.7, but they
wonąt play on a newer machine using OSX 10.6.8 and QT 7.6.6 (you canąt
install QT 7.7 with OSX 10.6.8); addition of various codecs and readers
(DivX, Xvid, Flip4Mac, Perian, 3ivx) does not help. Specifically, these
are
.avi movies processed in UltraView or MatLab that worked fine on my
previous
Apple machine but will not run on my newer machine running OSX 10.6.8.

The movies play in VLC regardless of the platform, but VLC movies canąt
be
embedded into PowerPoint 2008 or 2011 (as far as I know) and must be
played
externally; if someone knows how to tell PowerPoint to use VLC instead
of
QT, then I would be most interested to know.

Any insight into potential problems experienced by others would be most
helpful for troubleshooting this issue.

Thanks,

Jason Ford
