I have an interest in generating a video from a PP presentation, but have no clue if it is doable. If the presentation is played on the computer, will the video be available on the S-video output jack of the video card?

Thanks for any help

You can check the solutions offered by http://snipurl.com/pptdvd .

Be aware that the DVD will only be a 'taped recording' of a real
presentation. You will loose the flexability that Powerpoint supports. You
will loose a lot of screen resolution. You will loose the ability to edit.

On the other hand, you will gain the ability to play the 'taped
presentation' in a DVD player (without the user needing to have a computer).

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the built-in ability to save presentations as
video files or other video formats such as DVD-Video and, even if it did,
there would be significant loss of interactivity (because DVD-Video and
PowerPoint slide show have very different capabilities in this area) and
loss of visual fidelity (DVD-Video resolution is less than typical computer
display resolution and most television will not render colors the same way
that a computer display will).

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).
