Can I save a powerpoint slideshow as a DVD or movie file?

H

HeyWend

I have a nine minute slide show that I want to put on a DVD for a friend but
I can't find a way to do it. Does anyone have any ideas?

For what I think you want, you'd need 3rd party software, e.g., Fraps, or
Camstasia. Or you could use MS Producer, a free PP add in. (All would create
an .avi that could be converted to mpeg2 when burning to a DVD.) That's
assuming you want your presentation to play as a 'movie' and not a
'presentation'.

HeyWend, You can record your presentation using programs such as Camtasia.

Then, convert the movie to MPEG2 file, which is needed for a
video DVD.

Then you import the video into a DVD authoring program to create
the DVD menu and setup.

Lastly, burn into the DVD-R/RW.
