– VideoJS, JQuery Player, JW Player,... Youtube• Where to put the video

– Youtube ... Is it ok ? the videos are watched by everyone .

– Server local...Server CPU, network bandwidht is enough ?

How to show PPT (Power Point)?

10

• Using HTML5 changing tools– There are many softwares that convert

PPT to HTML5 from free to expensive one .– It works if PPT is simple, but you have to

check it warily with complicated one .• An idea, you can use photo viewer

– Only no animation PPT .– Writing images from PPT, show them by

the viewer .– As it is a picture, anyone can not copy as

characters .– Same as original PPT . No cafeful check is

needed .– Open source players

• IrfanView, JPEGView, JQuery Panorama Viwer, Galleria
