Hi, we are evaluating POI to programmatically generate Powerpoint pptx documents with embedded video. We have read that (please confirm): * a powerpoint file created by the last Powerpoint version can be opened by any other previous Powerpoint version (e.g. Powerpoint 2007 can open pptx files from Powerpoint 2015) * a file generated by a previous Powerpoint version can have compatibility issues with a newer version (e.g. Powerpoint 2013 can have compatibility issues with a pptx created for Powerpoint 2010)
Now the questions: * If I understand correctly, in order to generate files for all Powerpoint versions in market, the best strategy would be creating pptx files for the last version Powerpoint 2015. Is that correct? * Can Apache POI create Powerpoint 2015 files? * Any special consideration embedding video? (formats, etc..) * Is there any way to allow outlook running a video embedded in a presentation? (it complains about codecs unavailable) There is not much about this in the documentation, as far as I have seen. Regarding the file format, pptx, which is supposed to be an XML file, I am a bit confused because when I try to open a pptx in linux, I just see binary code. I would expect a XML text file instead. Any idea? Thanks in advance
