Currently Igor exports MOV files for Quicktime. Windows does not support MOV files by itself and especially Powerpoint does not. (It is not always possible to simply install Quicktime, especially when using many different conference room computers - we live in a world full of admins and other restrictions)
Let me request an export filter for an additional Movie-Format that is 100% Powerpoint compatible.
The best solution I have found so far is to use QuickTime Pro to open the movie created in Igor, then export it as an ".avi" file, that can then be inserted into Powerpoint. Note: you need the Pro version of QuickTime, which costs extra.

I have added native avi file support for the next release of Igor. This will be 6.12.
More details and beta download info has been sent to the Igor mailing list.
