Converting Powerpoint into a video format

[pam_mortensen]

I have a friend that did a Powerpoint presentation and would like to convert it so it can be burned to a DVD. Can this be done? If so, how? I am not familiar enough with Powerpoint to answer this question and figure one of you might have the answer. I should add, she can get it to play on Quicktime.

 

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware, PP has its own system for writing to CD and you'd have to use that. It should be covered in the PP help files but I believe it will produce a standalone presentation

I'm surprised re: Quicktime. All the slides need to be "saved as" jpeg images - one of the options -- and those images used in VideoWave. The issue is that anything like text builds will not work. There is other software to do this. I haven't tried any but here is more information. They used Camtasia but I think SnagIt would work also. Both are from TechSmith Software. That's what I used to capture the screen video in the demos. I think both have a trial version.

There is also an article on powerpoint for CD here.

 

It should woirk for DVD as well but most presentations fit nicely on CD

My 2003 does - my sis in law used it to make a standalone CD for something she was doing - played fine in another computer without PP installed on it

The problem is they want to use it on a DVD player to view on their TV. Thank you for all your help. I have forwarded the information to my friend.
