Perhaps a portable version of OpenOffice/LibreOffice? There used to be |
| 26 |
one from PortableApps.com(?), it will be big, heavy, but should at least |
| 27 |
work. But I don't know whether it offers universal support for some |
| 28 |
specific codec. If it relies on Video For Windows, then it will be as |
| 29 |
good as PowerPoint. |
