Has anyone used this? Is it worth getting? I am thinking about purchasing.

I saw one post on 321 Studios board that you have to press a button on the
DVD player to advance the slides? Wondering if this is true, some cases this
will be good for me, but in most I would want it to play continuously
through the slides without having to hit a button on the DVD player. Can you
have it both ways, play through or wait to advance slides?

I would like to be able to save ppt to DVD's while saving all the animations
(Office XP) and music - .wav or .mp3.

Thanks!
 
Be very cautious. You mention audio and animations. To quote the website:


DVD X POINT converts your ordinary PowerPoint presentations into exciting
Power DVD movies .......

DVD X POINT guarantees your presentation will never lose important text,
graphic, transitional or navigational elements from the original PowerPoint
presentation no matter who plays them or on what type of system.

I don't know what "ordinary" means, but note that there is no mention of
animations or audio. I beta tested the software and could not get the
simplest animation to work. I was told that it was resource dependent.
When I described my system to them - - Pentium4 3Ghz, 2GB of RAM, 120 GB of
free disk space on freshly defragged hard drives with a clean Temp folder,
plus an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro video card, I never heard back from them. I
gave up on the product.

I would recommend the tutorial at
http://www.powerpointbackgrounds.com/powerpoint-to-dvd.htm, which is free.
 
Thank you,

I think I have given up on them too. I chated with there support and asked
them about having to push the "forward" button to advance each slide, which
you have to. That will not work for what I need. I tried the camtasia
software, but it seemed to play back kind of choppy (ADM xp-1800, 512M ram,
64M g-force3). I had a lot of animation happening on most of the slides, so
maybe that is why. I will take a look at that tutorial again and mess some
more with the camtasia software, maybe I was being lame and didn't do
something right. :O

Thanks again!

Send that PC to me and I'll get it working. Might take a couple months, tho.

I like the dual floppies. Mine doesn't have any floppy. Just a DVD burner
and a CD burner. :<((
 
In my experience there is nothing that will match your presentation played
in PowerPoint or the Viewer. Everything else requires that you lower your
expectations.
 
DVD *AND* a CD Burner. That's nothing. Mine makes toast. Doesn't matter if
the bread is thick thin frozen or fresh.

So there

break
