Actually it is a misconception that Powerpoint requires Apple's Quicktime. If you have installed Quicktime it replaces every registry entry for the video players on your system. This can make people think it is required where it actually has only hijacked your system.

To play Flash video in Powerpoint 2003 you need the Adobe Flash Player installed and/or the Microsoft ActiveX control for Flash.

Open Powerpoint Help and search for Flash. Detailed information about how to use them within Powerpoint.
