Hello,
I am editing a video for a buddy who needs to play it in a powerpoint presentation.
I have tried so hard and am unable to find a program that can convert anything iMovie, or Final Cut Pro into a Windows Media Player compatible format. 
I have tried flip4mac, but can only get half my movie exported, and have tried making it double the size to trick it, but it apparently knows what I'm doing.
I also have tried a program called ffmpegX, but I have had limited luck, as it has sooooo many different conversions, all of which I can't decode.  Here is a sample option I have:
"MPEG4 [.AVI] (ffmpeg)"
What does this mean???  I am quite knowledgable with video formats and things like or so I thought, but I can't decode this program.  Also, whenever I select some formats and click encode, it gives me a zero kilabyte file.
Also, for all AVI types, it gives me a video track w/ no audio, and blank audio track.   

I have tried exporting AVI right out of final cut, but I cannot get a reasonable quality"file size ratio.  What do I do???
