I'm not, but you are displaying an ineptitude. PowerPoint does support
video - but *only* video files (in PP Help the supported video files are
listed). A Camtasia capture of (say) Premiere which includes a video
window is a composite - and *not* a video file. It's the same with any
video editor showing a video window. So naturally, trying to export
anything other than a supported video file type via a PowerPoint codec
will not work (for the non-supported video) - which is what you are
trying to do.

It's exactly the same if you try to capture a window which includes a
*displayed* Real Media window, because the capture results in a
composite which is *not* in the native video format - though the native
video format *is* supported by PowerPoint but the composite is not.

Which explains why you haven't been able to get a satisfactory capture.

As I've suggested - do try to focus on the limitations of any
application(s) that you use.

And I'm not grasping at straws. You however, are displaying a complete
lack of understanding of video - and indeed of PowerPoint and its
supported video formats.
