Hi everyone! Just want to write about two things:
THING 1 I got back a response on Issue Issue 41419 "Support for playing back movies in impress with RealPlayer + avmedia". http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41419 Please read the comments and vote on the issue and comment yourself. Maybe more votes and comments will help to stimulate the powers that be about this issue. THING 2 Rob! Thank you for the information about "Accordent". The free program is called, "PresenterOne Basic", Anyone can check it out here along with the pay versions. http://www.realnetworks.com/products/presenterone/ At least it provides, as you indicated Rob, "...a stop-gap -- if you are running Windows...". Below is some information on the web site about "PresenterOne Basic". "PresenterONE Basic provides a great way to start creating professional streaming presentations. It enables content creators to create professional presentations with on demand RealMedia and synchronized PowerPoint slides â all displayed in the RealPlayer â all of this using a wizard-based tool that provides step-by-step guidance and requires absolutely no hand coding. --On demand RealMedia support --Synchronized PowerPoint slides --Auto-publish to CD or on demand --Customizable interfaces --Presentations up to 15 minutes in length" Input anyone on "Thing 1" and/or "Thing 2"??
