More than this The 123PPT PowerPoint provides an easy to use Insert Wizard that enables you to view video clips in full screen. (the Crystal Graphics solution does not. In fact it doesn't even have a wizard to help and assist you!).
The 123PPT PowerPoint allows you to select one or more videos at a time for inclusion in your presentation. (the Crystal Graphics solution does not. It allows you only to select one video making it unnecessarily time consuming and frustrating to create more professional diverse presentations).
Allows you to control all video properties and settings for all of your video backgrounds on one screen. (the Crystal Graphics solution does not).
The 123PPT PowerPoint provides you with complete control over the speed of your video backgrounds including playing your video backgrounds at 3 X Normal speed. (the Crystal Graphics solution does not. The only adjustment provided is to allow you to play your video background at half speed).
The 123PPT Video Backgrounds Player and 123PPT PowerPoint is easy to install under Office 2007. (the Crystal Graphics solution requires manual adjustment of Windows security settings).
If you are running multiple versions of PowerPoint on your machine The 123PPT PowerPoint is installed to all versions of PowerPoint and is available to each version as and when you open or use it. (the Crystal Graphics solution is not. It is only available in one version of PowerPoint on your machine).

The 123PPT PowerPoint allows you to insert any video background on any individual slide, or multiple slides, or across your entire presentation quickly and simply. (the Crystal Graphics solution does not. You can only select one video background and apply it to one slide at a time).
When creating presentations, the 123PPT PowerPoint allows you to view and watch full screen full motion previews of your video backgrounds. (the Crystal Graphics solution does not. You can only view limited sized video background previews).
The 123PPT PowerPoint allows you to pack your presentation into one convenient file for distriubtion to friends and colleagues via email, vpn's, networks, or portable storage devices such as flash memory cards and usb sticks. (the Crystal Graphics solution does not. It creates a complicated folder and subfolder infrastructure with many files that is difficult to distribute on any platform or media).
The 123PPT Video Backgrounds Player allows you to quickly open your full screen full motion video PowerPoint presentations from the Windows Program Menu without even opening PowerPoint (the Crystal Graphics solution does not. You must open your Crystal Graphics generated video presentations from within PowerPoint).
