How to convert MP4 to WMV
Three steps to a file that Windows plays on its own
11. Upload your video
Drag an MP4 onto the page or click “Upload”. MOV, MKV, AVI and WebM sources work as well. Up to 1 GB per file.
22. Set the size you need
WMV is pre-selected. Leave the resolution alone for playback on a PC. For a slide deck, 1280 by 720 keeps the file small enough to send by email and still sharp on a projector.
33. Download and play it
Double-click the file to play it in Windows Media Player, or drag it onto a PowerPoint slide. You do not need a codec pack or an extra player.

The format older PowerPoint plays
PowerPoint 2007 and 2010 play WMV natively. For an MP4, PowerPoint 2010 needs QuickTime, which is rarely installed on a work machine. Convert the video first and the slide plays in the meeting room instead of showing a black rectangle.

Windows-native, nothing to install
Windows Media Player has played WMV since Windows XP, which matters on machines where IT policy blocks new software. Need MOV, AVI, MKV or an audio format instead? They are in the same output list.
