PowerPoint 2010 64-bit is not compatible with 32-bit versions of QuickTime or Flash. You must install a 64-bit version of QuickTime or Flash, or a 32-bit version of PowerPoint 2010 to to get rid of video not playing in powerpoint 2010. For PowerPoint 2013/2016, and PowerPoint 2019, you can embed and play more video & audio file formats.
