Error when "unzipping" powerpoint file using Archive Utility

Question

When using this trick to extract data from PPTX file I get an error

Unable to expand archive "test.pptx.zip". It is in an unsupported format

How do I extract video from my PPTX then?

Answer 1

The way to do it is to either try different unzip utility, such as 7zip, or use terminal: navigate to the folder with your "test.pptx.zip" and run these commands:

mkdir test_dir
cd test_dir
unzip ../test.pptx.zip

First line creates folder test_dir and then moves to that folder. Final command unzips your pptx file into test_dir folder
