Ask somebody with a Mac to convert your .mov into avi would be an option.

But perhaps you can find something useful under the following link:

www.versiontracker.com select Windows and search for something like
movie generator, merge images etc.
On Mac you can used e.g. Framed if you are not willing to pay the few
dollars for QT Pro.
Very stupid question, does Windows Powerpoint not support QT ? Or is it
only because you are using H.264 codecs ? a regular mpeg2 movie should
also work on a Windows based system.

P.S. perhaps install the latest QT on your PC (it's free, send a fake
email if you don't want their email announcements)
