This is a little off topic, but I find that for timed slide presentations, PPT is the hardest program to create one in, especially if using different times for different slides or coordinating it to music. If timed presentations are something you do regularly, then I'd recommend getting ProShowGold. Once I made the switch to it from PPT, I cut my production time by more than 1/2.

I hope it will be helpful too. For PC I use Presentation to Video Converter there I can convert my PPT to avi, mov, mpeg or flash and burn it on a DVD.

Agreed that PPT for Mac has video export, but it sucks. It completely ignores things like timing.

Your best bet really is to capture the video coming out of your computer.

I am a "shoestring budget" church and have figured out a free way (tho Multi-step) to get Powerpoint on DVD INCLUDING all transitions. I currently use this for our Announcement loop. Using all freeware, except I also use a video editor that came with my DVD burner.

First, load the powerpoint into Media Shout (I am assuming this step will work with other Worship software, but I dont have them).

Set the display to show the Presentation on in a Solo ShoutMonitor set to "Prog" which shows all the animations of each slide. Adjust the positioning of the display so it does not block your commands for jumping back to the top of a PPT presentation. Stretch the solo window so the actual propgram is about 800x600 in size (slightly larger works better than slightly smaller).

Go ahead and fire the PPT file in MS.

Open a screen capture program (I will list my freeware version later - not near my own laptop right now). Set the capture to 800x600. Start Record. A capture window will appear. Move capture window on top of ShoutMonitor. (corners of capture window should be just inside the Monitor window - note PPT will temporarily freeze.)

Once this has been set, push the Capture "Start" button. This begins the recording. Go to media shout and re-fire the ppt to start it again from the beginning. let it continue until the end. after the end, go to the capture program and "Stop" recording the capture. the capture program will save the recording as an AVI file. I then use the video editing software (Mine is VideoWave, but anything should work) and edit the extra frames that were saved before re-starting the PPT, and those that may have been added after the end of the PPT. re-save it as an avi file. I then have an option to shrink the file by 90% (with a black border for the other 10%) so it looks better on older TVs

I then open a freeware DVD Burner program (again I will list the title/link soon). I load up the final avi file i created from the previous step. I don't need audio so I strip out the default "empty" audio files to save space. I then click on make DVD and it burns the file to a re-writable DVD (which I re-write to weekly)


The animations are a bit choppy, but the Capture program gives you a LOT of codec choices and properties within each codec. 70-75% for quality and 25-27 fps seems to work pretty well and balances animation with sharp color fades. I still haven't tried all the codecs yet.

Also make sure as few background programs are running as possible. This allows for maximum video quality.

With PowerPoint 2010:

Save As Type
Windows Media Video .wmv should probably work

They got you with a zombie post, brother. The OP was 2007 and he hasn't been on the forum since 2010.

This thread was stirred up again from a couple of spammers, whose posts have since been disappeared.

Yeah, you can make your PPT presentation into video flips.- Created a beautiful and interesting PowerPoint presentation in .ppt format, complete with sound and music, for your birthday party or corporate marketing event, but alas, in an unlucky situation, the DVD or VCD player on Hi-Fi amplifier system cannot play PowerPoint slide.
