Dear Aspose.Slides Staff & hello to all users,
I have the following scenario: I want to export Reports in the .ppt-format and in my Reports I have different images on which it should be possible to click (link) and then open a video for the this image inside the .ppt itself.
To make it clear: Is it possible to show a video (in .wmv or other formats) inside the exported PPT-file?
Any comment on this is appretiated.
Regards,
Marcel
Hello Marcel,
It’s not possible to export video from Reporting Services but you can create presentations with video clips using our Aspose.Slides for .NET component. For additional information please refer to the documentation.
Hello alcrus,
thanks for clearing that up.
I thought about a workaround and need to know if it’s possible to buy Aspose.Slides for Reporting Services and implement it myself later. If there is an API, would it be possible to use this for our company and build in this ‘‘feature’’ by ourselves? Is there an API?
Or else: I use Aspose.Slides for Reporting Services to export my Report and in the next step open the exported Report in Aspose.Slides and add the Videoframe in this step. I know that I need to buy both tools but would this work? Can you open a ppt file via code like you can create own?
Another question concerning multithreading:
I read in the forum that it’s possible (see here). Actually you wrote the answer 
We need Aspose.Slides for our server application where many users have access on the same data and use Aspose.Slides (click on a ppt-icon and get their own, individual report). Did you ‘‘implement’’ multithreading when programming Aspose.Slides?
Many questions, I know. Hope I made myself clear,
Regards,
Marcel
Hello Marcel,
Aspose.Slides for Reporting Servives doesn’t have any public API because it’s just Reporting Services extension. The main limitation is Reporting Services by itself. If I’m not mistaken it doesn’t allow video inside reports, at least it won’t export it.
Yes, you can use second solution. Export report with Aspose.Slides for Reporting Services and add video clips later using Aspose.Slides for .NET or Java.
Multithreading is supported. Rule is very simple - don’t access the same presentation object from different threads at the same time. Otherwise, you should synchronize it, but I think it’s not necessary for your task. Different presentations can be processed simultaneously. Also you can open the same ppt file in different threads.
Hello again,
thanks for the detailed information. I think I’ll then go with the second solution.
Much obliged,
Marcel
