Streaming PowerPoint presentations via the web

[Sisyphus]

As I know we have some graphic designer/web developer types here ... anyone had experience with converting a narrated PowerPoint file to stream it via the web?

Years ago I used Impatica which worked OK, although it had its quirks; but before I drop $500 on it I wondered if there were other tools that anyone here has used.

In what format do you want to stream the presentation? Do you want it be viewed independent of a PowerPoint installation on the user's computer?

Here is a Google search that has some information:

Format is not so important. My preference is a solution that doesn't require PowerPoint installed.Impatica, the tool I've used before, is the first one listed. I think it downloads a small Java plugin for the user that handles the streaming.

Once you add audio to a Powerpoint file, the size gets huge. Impatica provides a plug in that streams the content as needed and so the file size is not an issue.
