Producer vs. Add-in Presentation broadcast

What is the difference between these two applications Producer for Microsoft
Office PowerPoint 2003 vs. PowerPoint 2003 Add-in Presentation Broadcast.

Has anyone been successful at producing a live video broadcast with either
of these products? If so what video input device have you found compatible?

Gary,

The broadcast will send live sound, video and a html version of your
presentation across the internet or Local Area Network. Producer will allow
you to pre-stage it better, by importing your presentation into a timeline,
and allowing you to add video and sound. So, broadcasting is for on-demand
type presentations, while Producer is for internet streaming and CD's. You
typically connect live to a broadcast, while you download and play Producer
results from a link. Although you can record a broadcast for later viewing.

As for broadcasting, it needs a lot of work, imho. I've wasted hours over it
and it seems to get worse in each new version. Producer seems more reliable,
but you cannot broadcast live.

I have looked at Live Meeting and it is just too pricey for our applications.
Do either of you know of anyone who has produced a live broadcast from PPT?
