Please make these strips available as .PNG files in a series, not JPEGs, as the compression would introduce many artifacts! I'm truly appreciate of all the hard work you fine folks at the Archive are doing, and I just feel to do these film strips justice series' of .PNGs would be best. They are also pretty much universially compatible (MAC, PC, LINUX, DOS, Windows and many standalone DVD players as well!!)
Powerpoint is proprietary and not in the best interest of the fan's of this archive. If you must (for space reasons), make these high-quality sequential- .JPEGS instead of Powerpoint slideshows. Please, this archivefan is begging...

I thought about making them Powerpoint presentations since there are many different programs (including some open source ones) that can read and display such files.
What do you think?

Or am I wrong? Is there a common/free video format that would just save each distinct image in a slideshow once?

I've thought about different formats and their pros and cons.
I'd like to have a format where each file can be easily viewed as a slideshow and that folks can extract the images from the file for their own use.
Here's my thoughts:
A video file format such as (MPEG2, QT) would have large files and extra compression of the images. It also wouldn't be easy to extract the images.
Flash would have smaller files as an option, but again it wouldn't be easy to extract the images.
A directory of loose jpegs or tiffs would
I'm favoring Powerpoint (although I'm not a big fan of Microsoft) because the files aren't so big, lots of people can view Powerpoint files (including free options), the files can be edited and searchable via most search engines.
I'm open to some suggestions.

As for multimedia software, I've always been a big fan of Scala. It works better on older computers than PowerPoint does and it has a freely distributable player.
I thought that OpenOffice people have some sort of multimedia presentation thingy, don't they?

For image format, I suggest JPG or PNG. There should probably be multiple resolutions to choose from - maybe 640 X 480 at the low end, and something considerably larger for higher-res needs.
In any event, thanks for offering yet another resource -
