PFCMedia takes full advantage of the Powerpoint Ribbon.

With PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft changed how menus work by introducing the new Office Ribbon.  What you may not know is they made it possible to access the ribbon from program code and allowed programmers to modify it and add their own icons and link them to add-ins.  The result is that we can place our add-ins directly into the ribbon so that you don't have to spend time looking for the add-in or its features which makes you more productive.  We placed PFCMedia 2007  directly into the "Insert" ribbon right beside Microsoft's own Insert media icon.
  PFCMedia takes full advantage of the PowerPoint task panes.More than just the ribbon, Microsoft also provided the ability to build custom task panes in PowerPoint 2007.  PFCMedia 2007 takes advantage of this and all features and functions are now integrated into task panes so that you may move, dock, and resize them as you would any standard task pane in PowerPoint.  Again the goal is to provide better productivity and allow you to use the add-in in a way that meets your needs.

Inserting a media file in PowerPoint has just been taken to a whole new level.  When you insert a media file in your presentation with PFCMedia you are assured that it will play just as you want on both your PC and any other Windows PCs without the concern of what codecs are installed on the receiving PC.

To explain it simply, we combine Microsoft technologies with our custom programming to process the media into a format compatible with PowerPoint on Windows PCs.  As an added bonus typical file formats like Mpeg and AVI files will be significantly reduced in file size!  (Mpeg files and AVI files are typically 1/5 their original size without a loss of quality.)

Using PFCMedia to process a video or audio file and automatically inserting it into your presentation is as simple as selecting the file, testing it, setting your animation from a pre-defined list and clicking finish.		  
 

Media files Supported

PFCMedia  2007 can process a very long list of file types, in fact it would fill this page.  To say it simply, if you can play the media file in the Windows Media Player on your PC then PFCMedia 2007 can process it for use in PowerPoint!  NOTE:  Unfortunately we had to disable support for QuickTime and RealMedia due to legal restrictions from the owners. (Apple and Real) If these companies change their policies we will of course immediately restore this functionality.

Codec Selection and Installation

If you are missing a standard codec PFCMedia 2007 will automatically download it from the Microsoft web site and install it all without your needing to do a thing.  It will even process non-standard file types (Example: DivX) if you manually install the needed codecs.  (See the tutorial page on doing this.)

Play DVDs

With PFCMedia 2007 you can now insert a commercial (copy protected) DVD and play it directly in PowerPoint.  PFCMedia plays the DVD in full resolution at whatever size you make it on the slide or in full screen mode.  NOTE:  PFCMedia plays the DVD in its entirety from beginning to end.  If you want to be able to play just selected "clips" you will need to use PFCPro.  Use of DVD playback requires that you have a DVD drive in your PC, a DVD decoder installed, and the DVD MUST be present in the Drive.  Nothing is saved to your hard drive.

Use a Web Cam

If you have a Web Cam attached to your PC you can now display it directly in your presentation just as you would any other video.  All that is required is that you have a "WDM" driver for the web cam installed.  Almost all newer web cams come with this driver but if yours did not visit the web cam manufactures web site and download it.  Almost all manufactures make this driver available to customers.

Play Streaming Media from the Internet

Being able to play a video from the internet or an intranet has some unique advantages to both keeping your presentation size smaller and providing security for the video.  As an example lets say you want to send out (distribute) a presentation to your customers but do not want them copying your video or using it for other purposes.  Simply place the video on a server and stream it to the link in your presentation.  This way the end user never has a local copy on their PC.  Another advantage is that you can update the video on the server (while keeping the same name and URL) and when your customer views the presentation they see the latest version of your video.
