Thanks, akheron. After I posted, I decided to try Pocket Slides as well as Pocket SlideShow. I tried converting the the file with the embedded videos but both apps were taking FOREVER so I just gave up waiting! (The folder is over 300MB.) I then tried both apps without the videos; Pocket SlideShow worked well but Pocket Slides took so long that I never bothered waiting for completion. The other thing is that both apps do not seem to preseve animation effects within each slide.
akheron, if you have time, I could send you the file with the videos. I'm not sure if it's just my PC or I am doing something wrong...my presentation is tomorrow so I need to figure out if this is possible or not ASAP.
