Guys, I have a presentation which is roughly 25 min long, and wit
constant music, so basically its also 25 min of constant sound. Now
want to know what programme to use to screen capture the whol
presentation with sound included. I used CAMTASIA and the only way i
records sound is by using a MIC. Is there anyway I can record th
sound directly from the soundcard, so there is no loss in terms o
sound quality from the original presentation.

CamStudio will capture your sound directly from your soundcard (at the same
time it's capturing your presentation's visual images). It's freeware
available at www.CamStudio.com. But . . . whether you use CamStudio or any
other screen capture program, the resulting avi file for a 25 minute
presentation is going to be really huge.

You didn't mention why you want to capture your presentation.

- If you want to record it to a DVD, and
- if your computer has a TV-out plug, and
- if your budget can afford $300 or more to do so,
you may want buy a stand-alone DVD recorder -- the kind designed to record
programs off TV or videos from a digital movie camera. Then, you can just
connect your computer to the DVD recorder, run your presentation, and record
it -- sound and all -- directly to a DVD.

Thanks a lot guys. I did a presentation with a mate, about a good
hours a day for a solid week, and now we've got our 360mb P
presentation, and cause he's a big boy most computers aint got th
processor i have and so, i was thinking the best way to show the res
of my friends was to burn it on to a DVD, but when i used CAMTASIA i
only recorded it via MIC which sucked obviously.

Question, do the methods u guys suggest of adding the sound after
certain sounds have certain timings with the images, will i still b
able to get the sound at the exact time I want it to show up?. And b
the way our soundtrack is like 14+ wav's, about 1:30 each.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

While you're at it, if it is important to you (or to anyone else reading
this message) that PowerPoint have the ability save presentations directly
to DVD-Video (even with unavoidable loss of some interactivity
capabilities), or if there are specific features of PowerPoint slide show
distribution that you would like to see (which might eliminate the need to
save presentations as DVD-Video), don't forget to send your feedback (in
YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft.

* Is there some problem with PowerPoint's current output options for which
you believe DVD-Video output is the solution/workaround?
* You want to distribute/show your presentation on DVD-Players (even though
there will be loss of functionality) because....<why>?
* Other reasons?

Microsoft receives thousands of product suggestions every day and we read
each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are only
sufficient resources to address the ones that are most important to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as clearly and
completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
