I'm poised to buy this, but can I use it to play video and audio files EMBEDDED in PowerPoint slides, and not merely move slides forward and backward?

The SP400 can play videos embedded in slides when there is a Play button. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com.Thank you,Satechi Technical Support

honestly, that is where this pointer comes up a little short. It's functionality for things other than slide advance and pointing is sketchy. the intention is there, but depending on how often you are going to use it you might be disappointed. I use it for irregular presentations, but my partner upgraded because he presents elaborate powerpoints for a living.

Don't buy this. I bought this earlier this year and chucked it shortly thereafter. I did not use this to play video or audio files, but this is a poorly made device. It often is non-responsive and sometimes will skip slides. You're better off with a Logitech device which will also be able to play audio or video files.

I tried but I couldn't make it work so maybe this is not a built in functionality of the device.

Yes it most definitely can be used for power point presentations. That's why I got one. Works great.

No. I don't believe it will accept PowerPoint. You probably would need to convert to a compatible video format.

Yes it works fine but you can see only one slide at a time. If you have a computer--buy a slide scanner, from amazon of course, and scan and view your slides on your monitor or tv. Easy to do.

You certainly can, that is how I almost always use the player. I have a short flash drive that I populated with music from my computer that I plug into the system and it plays it with no problem.

I believe you are talking about the old picture slides, and the answer is no. It is used with a computer and programs such as powerpoint. It can also project whatever you are viewing on your computer. However, it is not able to do individual slides.

Yep! I would suggest choosing the program to play it through instead of letting it autoplay, but it has a disk drive.

Yes. The video will have to be formatted to the resolution of the player. (You can get the exact information from the manufacturer website) but once you get the video loaded into the flash drive (provided) it plays flawlessly and loops without a flicker.Their are also speakers inside the unit.not great. But adequate for table side presentation.

Yes i tried, no problem for ppt. You can show Only presentation, dont use for video. I like this product, 3d performance and hd quality good.

Hmmm. Podcasts are not ONLY video files... This player can indeed play audio Podcasts.

I don't believe it will work. It might play the sound but not the video. That's a great question though. Sorry couldn't help more

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply. The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

My honest opinion would be, probably, if you could to a computer place that sold the cruser slides, as a promotion, and someone is throughly knowledgable w/the scruzer slide, then I could say YES. I don't know how to do myself. I only use it for music storage.. Sorry for not being able to help you..

Yes. Its possible but its only for a firmware update and presentation from other display devices that support USB videos like some high-end mobile phones. You cannot use the port to view slideshows or other files eg movies loaded on to the drive.

Honestly, I've not been able to get it to play any of the video formats -- and I've tried them all. Effectively, I pretty much use it just for music.

Yes if your player supports or has a usb port that allows you to play video off a flash drive.

This is something that I do not use PSP for. If I am going to add music to a photo slide show, I prefer to use a non-linear editing program that is meant for that such as Sony's Vegas Movie Studio, or Corel's Video Studio Pro or even Adobe Premeire. This is mostly a photo editing program, and while adding music might be a possibility, I confess I have not done it with this because in my view there is not enough control.
