I can't open slides manually because there is no cue. Second, I don't want to capture web sites; I have the files already. Third, I have tried a number of conversion programs recommended from this site (but not the ones you mentioned) to convert the real media but none recognize .smil files.

Would appreciate any other help that may be available. Thanks
