Re: [libreoffice-users] Embedding Video Files

Hi :)
It might be good to have a few other programs as portable apps.  I think
VLC, Firefox and Chrome are all available.  You probably don';t want the
distraction of having web-browsers tho.

There are a few other systems doing portable apps.  I'm not sure there is a
huge amount of difference between them for what you need at the moment.

It's probably still a good idea to have your presentations in both ppt and
odt formats until you've seen the portable apps thing work.

Having videos outside of the presentation is probably always going to be a
good idea.  If you are expecting it and prepared for it then it's hopefully
fairly easy to get it running.  The problem with embedding such things is
they weigh down an app quite a bit without making it that much easier to
run.  It depends on personal preference though rather than any technical
reasoning.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
