Does anyone have any experience with Pro DVD or
DVDXPoint? Both seem to say they can convert PP to DVD? I
was wondering if there's any feedback available on the
Newsgroup from anyone who has tried either of these...or
any other product. I hate to buy and then be disapointed
in the final product.

As always...thanks for your kind help.

CWJ,

I suggest you download any demo that may be available for each product (sometimes they have a 30 day demo). A lot of
products claim to convert powerpoint to DVD but when you start reading the small print...some do not do a full
conversion. So test it to see if you like it.

Try PowerPoint2DVD from http://www.powerpoint-to-dvd.com please.

It's a very easy to use software to burn your Micrsoft PowerPoint
Presentations into DVDs so that you can view them on your TV. Free
trial version available. Your original transition effects can be well
kept.
 
[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

In the future, 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).
