QuickTime 64-Bit for PowerPoint 2010 64-Bit

Anyone know where I can download QuickTime 64-Bit for Windows 7? I tried the iTunes + QuickTime 64-Bit download however its installing QuickTime as a 32-Bit application.

Reason I need a the 64-Bit version is I am trying to embed a quicktime video into PowerPoint however its failing with an error message:

"Powerpoint cannot insert a video from the selected file. Verify that the necessary 64-Codec for this media format is installed, and then try again."

I can embed the video fine on my 32-Bit install of PowerPoint but it will not playback on any 64-Bit installation. It will play the video if I directly open the file or just insert a link to the file. I'm looking at accomplishing the embed function with the 64-Bit installation of PowerPoint. I came across this from Microsoft Office:

PowerPoint Tip: Playing QuickTime videos in PowerPoint
Install the same bit-versions of QuickTime and PowerPoint 2010 onto your   computer if you do not already have them. PowerPoint and QuickTime must match, either 64-bit or 32-bit. 64-bit PowerPoint will not work with 32-bit QuickTime and vice versa.

Thanks for your help!

Yeah I was afraid of that...

I might have to consider reverting back to 32-Bit than. This is for a classroom environment so most instructors already have a powerpoint created, if they used QuickTime videos it does not play them because I have 64-Bit installed. :) I'm surprised that there still isn't a 64-Bit version of quicktime yet...
Thanks
Download this free video converter and convert the videos to wmv format ...then try to add the video.

Well, it was only recently that Adobe released a 64-bit version of Flash.  The transition to a 64-bit world is happening rather gradually.

Sorry that we couldn't pass along better news, but I'm glad that you have better insight now.
