I would like to be able to save a power point slide show to DVD. This
includes all sounds and slide transitions. I am thinking about trying DVD X
POINT from 123 studios, but they do not offer any trial versions and I am
unsure of spending $50, if it won't turn out good. Has anyone tried this or
heard anything about it?

Thanks Matt
 
I'm trying to figure out how to do the same thing. First, do the PowerPoint
masters out there know if there is a FREE way of saving a slide show with
animation to a DVD?

Second, there are a couple other programs that has a trial period if
interested.

PowerPoint DVD Maker $149
http://www.prodvd.net/product/productinfo.asp?pid1=PDM
PowerPoint DVD Maker from a different website $99
https://www.regnow.com/softsell/nph-softsell.cgi?items=9882-2&affiliate=17389
Powerpoint2DVD $79 and up
http://www.powerpoint-to-dvd.com/

I use HyperCam to do what you want. It's a screen capture program that
produces avi files, including PPt slides, sounds and transitions. (It even
captures MSAgent animations.) I then burn the avi's to DVDs using Ulead DVD
Movie Factory 3.

Trial versions of both programs are available online: HyperCam at
http://www.hyperionics.com/ ; and Ulead DVD Movie Factory at
http://www.ulead.com/dmf/dmf_stand/features.htm . HyperCam is $30 and Ulead
DVD Movie Factory is $50.

I don't have a financial interest in either company. I like them, because
they enable me to convert MSAgent-enhanced PPt presentations to DVDs, quite
nicely.

Hello,

In the mean time, 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?

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that 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 so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

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

You can try PowerPoint2DVD from http://www.powerpoint-to-dvd.com. It's
a great yet easy to use tool to burn your PowerPoint presentation on
DVD so that you can view it on your DVD player.

I could not get DVD X POINT to convert my PowerPoint presentation to DVD.
The presentation is over 700 MB and contains animations and pictures with 6
songs which span the slides.

DVD X Point said they could not convert a PowerPoint which has music which
spans slides.

So I am returning the product and am still looking for some way to convert
to DVD

I think you might be confused. There's DVD X Copy from 321 Studios, which
is being sued and might go under any day now. There's no free trial of that
one. Then there's 123 Copy DVD, which is a much newer program that also
burns DVDs. There's a free trial of 123 Copy at Download.com.
Good luck,
Luke
