We always like to think of PowerPoint as a glue that holds disparate media together. These media elements include sound, movies, pictures, clip art, and animation clips.

Optimization software is the solution, and there are many such programs available. The newest of them all is PPTshare File Compressor. This program allows you to optimize presentations using different compression levels.
