I'm sorry, sir. You'll have to leave now.

We don't permit the use of "NTSC" and the Q word in the same sentence.

What does it stand for again? Never The Same Colo(u)r..?

Adam,


That's a big point....now if someone could come up with a system that
utilizes the DVD specs system of menus..and pauses etc....it should in
theory be possible to put powerpoint on a DVD truely interactive ;)

We can dream...I wonder if DVDXpoint provides for that?
When I first started the Capture tutorial...I played with VCDs and SVCDs
capturing at 640x480

For VCD you could even reduce the resolution further as the spec demands
352x288 or 352x240 at 1150. In fact you could use Camtasia's ability to
capture just part of the screen and PowerPoint's quarter screen show mode.
e.g. screen set to 800x600, Camtasia set to capture the top left quarter.
This way you could capture 25 fps.
SVCD's a different monkey....

Or Never Twice Same Color

I don't think we need the "u" in any discussion of NTSC ahem color, as you
don't allow NTSC there, do you? Quite sensible.
 
Thought I better clarify that the presentation is self running with no
manual cues.

I've seen it and it's not ready for this crowd or primetime. <G>

However, DVD X Point does give you "buttons" for Next, Previous, Home,
Index, and Play Video.
 
Adam,

The thing I've found with Windows Media Encoder is that it captures at 24
bit color depth. Way more than the human eye can detect on a monitor let
alone a TV. Naturally the files are massive and the results are less than
desirable. Try dropping down to 16-bit color on a reasonably fast machine
and I think you might have a very different impression.

Adam,

I've been heavily involved with DVDXpoint and it's not the solution you are
looking for. Drop me an email if you want more info.
