Are there any experts out there who know if is possible to save a Powerpoint presentation as an video file? For example a mpeg or flv?
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.

If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Hello! I don’t know any direct way but there are software converters available.
http://powerpoint-to-flv.qarchive.org/
I haven’t tried it myself but MS has a tool that purports to do this: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/technologies/producer.mspx
I have done this in Keynote. I took a powerpoint, loaded it into Keynote (fixed the fonts that were broken) and then exported as quicktime.
If you would like me to have a go, send my the powerpoint and I’ll send back the movie.
In my powerpoint, for Mac, you go to file–>make a movie. Then you can convert the .mov file to a quictime movie or whatever, if you wish.
You may insert movie files (avi, mpeg) into any given slide and
play them as part of a powerpoint presentation.
If you would like the presetation to play itself you can use the
slideshow tab — this will give you options for timing slides,
animation, rewind, etc.
I believe the MS tool is adequate. Also you can do it in the latest version of powerpoint
You can open powerpoint in mac’s keynote, then export the file as a quicktime mov or flash file. Or, you can just cut out the middle man and avoid powerpoint altogether…just start with keynote!
Articulate is a software package i use at work to record audio over a powerpoint, you do it slide by slide. you then publish the powerpoint as a flash file suitable for download or streaming…www.articulte.com, articulate presenter is what you want
Gil and Jane hit the nail on the head. On a Mac all you do is open the slide show in Keynote. Then fix font issues etc. that may arise if the powerpoint was created on a PC. Then, go to the file drag down menu and click “export.” At that point you save it as Quicktime, PDF, or even iDVD. If you have a DVD burner on the Mac you can make yourself a DVD presentation instantaneously.
I assume the PC would be just as easy :)
Father-
Fr Tim Finigan had a post that was somewhat related to this he promoted Scribd –

Fr. Zulsdorf,
This site has a good explanation of the proper steps:
http://help.lockergnome.com/office/save-Powerpoint-file-Video-format-ftopict942228.html
The easiest way is to add import the ppt into Windows Movie Maker (it comes with most versions of XP and Vista), then publish as a video file.
Alternatively, you can publish the briefing slides as a “.pps” instead, then it plays as a show.
Interesting!
Please note here the prevalence of Mac people replying. Everyone know that REAL Catholic traddies have Macs not PC’s. The proportion of Catholic traddies with Macs is way higher that the average in the wider population. Apple to PC; Extraordinary Form to Ordinary Form; Classicism to Modernism. It’s all of a piece.
Father! Father! A wolf has got among the flock dressed as a lamb! Be a good shephered! Please!
josephus muris saliensis,
lol. Using your analogy, when was the V2 moment when the PC took off over the Mac?
Father, surely you use a mac with keynote instead. You’re life would be easier.
LOL
Lets look the Mac vs PC and compare them to EF vs. OF.
PC Adherent: Everyone uses the PC, so we should too. Everything is more compatible
OF Adherent: Everyone worships in the OF, so we should too. It is better for unity
Mac Adherent: Everyone uses the PC, but it is inelegant and doesn’t get the job done as well
EF Adherent: Everyone worships in the OF, but we refuse. It is inelegant yes, but more importantly, it doesn’t communicate the Truths of our faith as well.
Hmmm….
Yeah… I bet more traditionalists use Macs…
