Very Confused

[Jodes]

I'm not sure if anyone can help me, but I hope so.

I have made a powerpoint presentation and I finally figured out how to put it on DVD using Roxio.

Everything was going fine until I burnt the DVD and played it on my DVD player. The picture is to big for the screen, so it cuts off some of the picture.

Does anyone know how I can fix this, it is driving me nuts!

Thanks Jodes.

PLEASE explain how you converted a PowerPoint presentation so that you could use Roxio to burn a DVD playable on a television. Or, did you use a software package other PP or Roxio?

 

I have been trying to figure this out for a while. I have tried a couple of downloaded products but they were not successful.

 

Many thanks for your help.

Alexander, in his post above, provided the hyperlink (underlined text) to one such software.

What you are seeing is TV overscan and is a function of the way pictures are displayed. Since you didn't tell us how you got the presentation ready for the DVD, we can only guess.

 

Resize the images with a border so that the important information is inside the TV safe zone. Then you can use them if you created a slide show. If you created a video, add that video as on overlay to a colored panel on the main track. The color panel should be longer than the video. You can resize the overlay to fit into the TV safe zone. There is an icon that looks like a squared off target in both My DVD and VideoWave.

If what you want to do is just a data back up, and you don't need to play your PowerPoint with a DVD player, common burning software is enough , and Easy Media Creator is so far the best and top burning software for this work.

 

If you want to watch PowerPoint on TV with a DVD player,

Here some aspects you need to pay attention to:

 

PowerPoint does not have the built-in ability to save presentations as

video files or other video formats such as DVD-Video and, even if it did,

there would be significant loss of interactivity (because DVD-Video and

PowerPoint slide show have very different capabilities in this area) and

loss of visual fidelity (DVD-Video resolution is less than typical computer

display resolution and most television will not render colors the same way

that a computer display will).

 

Burn PowerPoint to DVD or disc. Commonly, there are two steps, first convert PowerPoint to a certain video format such as MPEG-2, for this step, you can use some PowerPoint to video conversion tool like Acoolsoft PPT2Video Converter, then burn the video to disc. (Here you can use Easy Media Creator )

 

Of course, if you want to add menus to DVD when you are burning PowerPoint to DVD so that you can control presentation on TV, Acoolsoft PPT2DVD is much better then PPT2Video Converter.

 

The other option is to use Windows Movie Maker but you would have to start from scratch and insert all the pictures onto it. I believe Windows XP and Windows Vista came with this free software so you probably have it. You click on Import Media and select the pictures you want (press Ctrl to select individual pictures). You can then use the Auto Movie button to add credits, music and transitions to your movie. Then burn it to DVD with Easy Median Creator, Now you can try the new Easy Media Creator 10, more Powerful.

 

Hope this is helpful.
