Will a ProRes MOV survive conversion to WMV intact?

It converts, but with real losses: ProRes is a 10-bit production codec while WMV9 output is 8-bit, so fine gradients can band, and any alpha channel is discarded entirely. Use the highest bitrate the target system tolerates to protect what remains.

What bitrate should the WMV use?

Roughly 2-3 Mbps for standard definition, 4-6 Mbps for 720p, and 8-10 Mbps for 1080p — noticeably more than H.264 would need, because WMV9 is a less efficient codec. Below those figures, compression artifacts show quickly on detailed footage.

Can PowerPoint on a Mac play the WMV I produce?

Ironically, not well — Office for Mac prefers MP4 and MOV, and WMV playback there has always been unreliable. The WMV target only makes sense for Windows-side PowerPoint 2010 and earlier, so confirm which platform the deck will actually run on first.

Going from MOV to WMV re-encodes Apple QuickTime footage into Windows Media Video for old Office embeds and WMV-only corporate players. It bridges the gap between a Mac-based editor and a Windows environment frozen somewhere around 2010.

Why convert MOV to WMV?

Hand video to clients who will drop it into PowerPoint 2010 or earlier, where WMV embeds play without codec drama.
Distribute through locked-down corporate Windows desktops limited to stock Windows Media Player.
Load footage onto Windows Media-era devices, from DLNA media extenders to the Zune, that list WMV among their native formats.

Tip: HEVC iPhone clips and ProRes exports both require a full re-encode to the older WMV9 codec — render at a generous bitrate, because WMV needs more bits than H.264 for the same picture.
