Power point files

Post by bpvideo »

Can anyone tell me if Ulead disc creator 3.0 supports .ppt files to convert to a DVD loop? I am away from my home computer and need to find this out ASAP.

sorry you cant use .ppt in MovieFactory.

if theres a utility that can convert .ppt to mpg or AVI you may be able to use it with DMF

If you can't find a direct converter, I like SnagIt.

It will capture from a variety of sources on your computer as well as being a screen recorder.

You can play your powerpoint presentation and capture it as an AVI. It also records the audio if you desire. You can also do a voiceover while it is playing.

Seems to be very stable and reliable. The AVIs it creates I've edited and converted to MPEGs in VideoStudio without any problem. They also have a free trial to see if it fills your needs. Be aware if you're going to capture at 30 FPS, you will need something a little beefier. I didn't have any problems with a P4 2.4 with 256 MB but the P4 1.6 could not capture at full size and frame rate. My captures were 800X600 at 30 FPS.
