Editor's review
This software lets you create video format of slide shows to enable simple viewing options.
PPT to DVD is an all-in-one application that lets you create video of PowerPoint slideshows. The converter will preserve all the original slide transitions, timings, animations, sound and narrations. You are able to get a DVD at the end of the process that you can simply insert in a plain vanilla home DVD player and give your show a much wider audience. Both PowerPoint 2003 and 2007 slides can be handled by the tool. Output options include write to DVD disc, Mini DVD disc, CD disc, convert to MPEG-2 movie, etc. You can choose to have NTSC or PAL output for the video you create from a slide show. Whether you want 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios is also up to you. The playback will automatically advance, and the original timings are maintained. Pause and loop can be used depending on your need. The preview available will tell you if you are getting exactly what you wanted. Audio tracks or narrations can be in MP3 or even AC3 formats.
The steps are simple due to how easy it is to use the tool. You start by importing the PowerPoint file, of course. Output file location is decided, and you start selecting the output options. These include details of the PAL or NTSC TV standards you want to follow. Aspect ratio and transition timings (if required) are set. You would be able to preview the product completely before burning the content into a DVD. The wider audience you get because of the video route can easily give you advantage commercially or on a personal front.
