Convert Powerpoint to Movie

[Greg_Reez]

Anyone have any tips for me to be able to convert my PP2008 presentation into a movie file of some kind that I can ultimately play through internet download or in a browser? I've tried "Save as Movie" through PP but certain animation effects and even my background music doesn't come with it in the .mov file it creates. The music starts at a certain slide, and I really need to retain that information.

Any ideas?

Save as Movie cannot retain the animations and sound. You can use PPT2video (http://www.ppt-to-dvd.com/ppt-to-video-overview.html#104) to convert PowerPoint to MOV.
I am not a Mac user, so I don't know if this program canbe used on Mac, but it works well on my PC.

I painfully saw how saving as a movie isn't 100% reliable. I tried PPT2Video and it worked beautifully. The Trial version watermarks the entire video though. Guess I'll have to purchase the full version. It'll be worth it.
