How to Convert PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) to Video (AVI/MPEG) and CD/DVD

Created a beautiful and interesting PowerPoint presentation in .ppt format, complete with sound and music, for your wedding ceremony or corporate marketing event. But alas, in an unlucky situation, the DVD or VCD player on Hi-Fi amplifier system cannot player PowerPoint slide out of the box, even with Pack and Go feature. Worse if the projection system or display panel won’t connect to your laptop VGA output port. In this case, you may want to convert the Office PowerPoint presentation in .ppt format to a video, recorded on CD or DVD disc or even on VHS tape which almost everyone can playback on any DVD player.

PowerPoint has a “Package for CD” (in Office 2007) or Pack and Go (in Office 2003) option that copy your presentation, supporting files such as audio or video together with a Microsoft Office PPT PowerPoint Viewer to an optical disk, USB flash drive or network location. However, even if PowerPoint burns the packaged presentation to CD or DVD, the disc created is still a data CD or data DVD which can only be played back on a computer (even if PowerPoint is not installed), and not playable in DVD player normally attached to TV.

For an universal playable presentation, it’s your best bet to convert the presentation to video clip instead, and best of all, a Video CD (VCD) or Video DVD. To showcase your presentation online via website or blog, you can convert the PowerPoint .ppt file to Flash based animated content too. You won’t be able to create and burn a Video CD or DVD with CD/DVD burning software such as Nero or DVD authoring programs such as Nero Vision, Pinnacle Studio, Ulead DVD Movie Factory, Apple iDVD, MovieStudio + DVD, MyDVD Studio, Sonic DVDit, Adobe Encore DVD and etc. Instead, you have to rely on various PowerPoint to Video converters, PowerPoint to DVD converters. Most of the converters can convert PowerPoint presentations to multiple formats, however, most of the software is not free, and users will need to purchase or buy a product key or registration number by paying license fee. However, most also available for free download as a shareware or trial usage, which allows you to evaluate which PowerPoint converter best suit your need, especially if you’re using new file format and extension (.pptx) of PowerPoint 2007. Downside is that all video created in demo mode likely to imprint and stamp with watermark.
