Compression assistance / 8bit uncompressed 4:3 for PC laptop playback

I have an uncompressed 8bit 2:40 4:3 QT exported at 3.2 gigs
My customer needs to project this via a PC laptop
I used a few Sorenson presets (WMV PPT HIGH... etc) with less than stellar results
The content is similar to a Power Point presentation with small elements
and text.

I'm currently trying a DV preset in Compressor right now.

Thoughts?

WMV playback is abysmal. For a presentation, I'd go with H.264 unless that PC doesn't have the latest media players. The DV should be fine as well as long as you play it back from a drive that's fast enough. However, make sure you don't give them a data DVD or CD and have them play the file back directly from disc; optical discs have extremely poor data rates and the video will sputter like mad. Copy it to an internal drive first.

Tests are good.

Derek. thank you for your quick response.
I was able to show your thoughts to the client with a positive result.
Encode H.264 using the .mp4 extension.
Best,
