I just inserted the video into powerpoint

I noticed that the specific video doesn't play in Windows Media Player

but I inserted another video (much smaller) that also doesn't play in WMP but it plays well in powerpoint



Is it a codec problem?
what can I do? I will have to send this powerpoint to another computer, so they must be able to play in all computers!!!
should I convert them into wmv ?

yes, it is ok now that I converted it into wmv
