I am wanting to brun my powerpoint presentations to VCD.
My presentations have background music and audio. Does
anyone know of a program that will allow me to do this
easily.

many thanks Kathy
 
I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a couple of months...Is Camtasia the ONLY software I can use to play on DVD? When I bought my computer I was told NERO is installed (which it is) in order to put Powerpoint onto DVD. But NERO says I need an authoring tool called NeroVision in order to capture my powerpoint and then use Nero Express to get it onto DVD. Has anyone heard of this?

There's more info about the whole Nero suite here:
http://www.nero.com/us/nero6.html

You can download a free 30-day trial. I don't know how that would affect the version that came with
your PC, though. If you have a CD or installer program for the version of Nero you already have,
you could always install it again after the trial period.
 
The way I understand it is....this

Nero 6 (The whole shebang) Currently called "ultra edition". includes lots of individual apps

- one of those apps is "Nero Vision Express 2"
http://www.nero.com/us/631898241456563.html

Nero Vision Express 2 is the software that can take a video file and make it DVD compatible.
Nero Vision Express also can create a nice front end menu for your DVD creation.
Then you use the NERO CD/DVD burning part of the software to actually write the data to the DVD/CD

Camtasia has nothing to do with writing DVDs. Camtasia captures moving powerpoint screens.
There are other pieces of software that can do a similar thing.

See this page
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00057.htm

Camtasia is extremely easy to use.

I think macromedia have something called Robo Something that also does a similar job.

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the built-in ability to save presentations as
video files or other video formats such as Video CD or DVD-Video and, even
if it did, there would be significant loss of interactivity (because movies
and PowerPoint slide show have very different capabilities in this area)
and loss of visual fidelity (Video CD and 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 Video CD or
DVD-Video (even with unavoidable loss of some interactivity capabilities),
don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft
at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state

suggestions).

Sounds good, would not mind having a look at a converted presentation, just to
see the output quality
