The three most popular phrases used to describe the
offerings of music production libraries like UniqueTracks
are:
- Royalty free music
- Stock music

music because it implies a collection of media that
is immediately available to be used in production creation.

and presentations. In this article, we'll discuss ideas
that help create complete presentations within PowerPoint
from suitable Word content. Read

May 17, 05 - ConceptDraw
Although PowerPoint has a plethora of options as far
as creating info graphics is concerned, there are umpteen
ways of making better info graphics outside PowerPoint.
Microsoft offers Visio as an interesting option – but
then Visio is an enterprise level product more geared
towards large organizations rather than everyday PowerPoint
users. If you identify with this situation and want
a product with a reasonable amount of choices and possibilities, you

Apr 18, 05 - Encoding Video for PowerPoint
A codec is a compression technology, and you have
several choices. I like Windows Media for two reasons.

when encoded using variable bit rate techniques, exceeds
the quality of all competitive technologies, except
for RealVideo, which is neck and neck. Jan
Ozer explains more..
