$299?? Are you joking guys?? LOL!

Anyway...this is an excellent and very useful software as long as:

1) you own a copy of Microsoft Office
2) you are teacher, a magazine reviewer or webmarketer interested in creating tutorials, presentations, brochures, catalogues or reviews with a page flipping effect
3) you want to share your bulky PPT files with your colleagues or friends through different media (android, iPhone, Blackberry, iPad etc...)

Other than that, this very expensive software is pretty useless for the average Joe Home user!!

As for FREEWARE ALTERNATIVES, I honestly don't know any good app capable ofquickly converting your PowerPoint presentations to Flash files for free, except (maybe) the following two ones, which both retain embedded audio, narrations and animations in PowerPoint files to the converted Flash files:

Want to create but don't have a copy of Microsoft Office installed in your PC because of lack of money??

Don't worry & be happy: "Powerbullet Presenter" is the right (FREE) tool for you!!!

And finally....to convert your PPT and even PPTX files (first tool mentioned below) into different VIDEO formats (avi, wmv, mpg, bmp, mp3), just give these excellent free tools a whirl:

http://www.effectmatrix.com/PowerPoint-Video-Converter/Free-PowerPoint-Video-Converter.htm (the FREE VERSION even supports PPT to HD video formats ==> COOL!!)

But if you are reluctant to download or install any software in your machne, you can also use this superb FREE online service if you are eager to share your PowerPoint presentations on the web:

You can convert ppt to flash directly using free OpenOffice package

2. File -> Open, open the PowerPoint presentation.
3. Click File -> Export.
4. Choose Adobe Flash (SWF) (.swf) in the Filter box. Click OK.

To protect your swf files from illegal usage, decompilation and distribution you can use

299 bucks for this...
My state of mental health tells me that this is insane.
In contrast, that is almost the price you pay for MS Office itself.
But this today is just a convertor for PPT to Flash.

I smell a rat here

ALL THUMBS DOWN

This wont be for everyone today but for me its great.

Installed fast and easy on Win7 64bit without a single problem.

User Interface is easy to understand with no steep learning curve required.
Obviously you are going to need Powerpoint (.ppt) files to use this which I think will put alot of people off.

((Alot of users here would have probably preferd the PDF to Catalog))

BTW: It also installed easy on Win XP and Vista 32 bit (through VMware)
