I’ve made a DVD from PowerPoint with Wondershare PPT2DVD and play it on TV with a remote control to control the playback.
Is this tool similar to PPT2DVD?
@ Wondershare: I’m not sure, I’m not familiar with the PPT2DVD.
Ok guys, I am about as Geek as it gets. I bought one of these things. It is cool.
I watch movies and TV (streaming) on my system every night.
Having a remote really improves the experience and makes it a much more satisfying entertainment center.
Thanks for the great story.
Nice to hear Dave, thanks for your comment!
Piece of crap, worked great until it stopped working for no reason after 3 months.
Does it really allow me to play music, watch DVDs, or flip through photos on laptop from up to 30 feet away ?
USB Multimedia Remote Control is a very good invention, it brings us much convenience.
