It’s also important to remember that all media playback on the Web uses a
plug-in. In many cases that plug-in is Flash, which quite a few users already
have installed. That makes it seem as if you can play media without a plug-
in from time to time.

It’s important to know that Presenter is a safe and secure way to share your
shows on the Web. Photodex is the only place where you can get Presenter
and it’s a digitally signed and certified download, meaning it’s coming from
a reliable and proven source.

If you do have a recipient of your show who doesn’t want to install the plug-
in for one reason or another, remember that it’s the major benefit to having
multiple output selections. You can provide them a link to a Flash version
of the show.

Finally, consider the benefits of Presenter versus Flash. Presenter is a format
designed specifically for slide shows. Flash has all the classic problems of
streaming video: long buffer times, low quality for file size, and more. Other
kinds of Flash can also have extremely high system requirements to
perform well. Use Flash if you must, but remember that Presenter was built
from the ground up to make your slide show look great.
