PowerPoint Converter–Camtaisa and Wondershare PPT2DVD

PowerPoint is among the most prevalent forms of persuasive technology used by business people, educators, students and trainers.  Suppose you need to burn PowerPoint to DVD, I know it is not very popular, the most common reasons for converting PowerPoint to DVD are usability, portability and storage.

The DVD can be played on PCs which support DVD and TV with a DVD player connected.

Nowadays there are two types of tools meet the standard for converting PowerPoint to DVD. One is the screen recording tool and the other is the PowerPoint converter. The typical examples for these two types are TechSmith Camtasia and Wondershare PPT2DVD, after the testing, you may find the difference between these two tools.

TechSmith Camtasia (http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp)

TechSmith Camtasia allows customers to create professional and engaging presentations, demonstrations and marketing videos in HD-quality video to reach audiences online, on portable media devices, or on popular online video sharing sites. Furthermore, Camtasia provides a PowerPoint add-in which can quickly and easily record PowerPoint presentations and produce DVD right from within PowerPoint.

Cons of using Camtasia to convert PowerPoint to DVD:  You need a powerful computer (higher than mainstream configuration) to run Camtasia smoothly because it consumes a lot system resources when recording PowerPoint. The recommended RAM is 2GB and the processor is 3GHz. The recording process may be freeze sometime if your PC is a dog. When burning the PowerPoint video to DVD, a third part DVD burning software is needed.

Wondershare PPT2DVD (http://www.ppt-to-dvd.com)

“If you’re interested in sharing your PowerPoint presentations as DVDs to be played on a DVD player, this program gives you a simple, no-fuss way to do it. Wondershare PPT2DVD burns a completed presentation to a DVD, and includes all aspects of it, including transitions, music, videos, and so on.” From PC world, Preston Gralla. 

As the first program that provides the PowerPoint to DVD solution, PPT2DVD has its own features such as:

1.       The converting process is very simple and no-fuss just as Preston said, import the PowerPoint presentations into the program (you can import 12 files at a time), choose the right output format and some advanced settings if you need, then the program can convert your PowerPoint presentation to DVD without your attendance.

2.       The DVD menu makes the output more easily to navigate. You can jump to the right presentation with a DVD remote control.

Compare to the first conversion method, in the converting process, you cannot figure out how will the output looks like. Just like a black box, you don’t know what happened in it. Sometimes it may lead the unpredictable failure. And, PPT2DVD can just record the elements in the PowerPoint, it is not possible for you to add your voice to your presentation, hope this function will be added in the future version.

Still, there are many other PowerPoint to DVD/video tools on the Internet like Acoolsoft PPT2DVD, E.M. Free PowerPoint Video Converter, authorSTREAM and so on. Users who are looking for the PowerPoint to DVD/video converter can have an evaluation about them.

When create a PowerPoint presentation for teaching, business and family use, you may want to insert a YouTube video into your PowerPoint presentation to make it more vivid, but as we know, YouTube video is the FLV format and we cannot insert YouTube video into PowerPoint presentation directly like a movie. How can we insert YouTube video into PowerPoint?

There are many ways for you to insert the YouTube video into PowerPoint. Here I just list 3 ways for those who are using Windows and Mac.

For Windows User

The first way is connect the YouTube video to the PowerPoint with internet connected. Follow the steps to embed the YouTube video into PowerPoint.

Open the PowerPoint, find the developer tab, click more controls button, then there will be a dialog appeared. If you cannot find the developer menu, it is easy. Just click the office button, PowerPoint options, and select Show Developer tab in the Ribbon then the developer tab will appear in the ribbon.

In this dialog, choose Shockwave Flash Object then OK.

Draw a box in the slide which you want to insert the YouTube video in, then right click the mouse, choose properties then the dialog is showing as below:

Copy the YouTube URL and paste it in Movie blank. Please remember that you should delete “watch?” and replace “=” with “/”in. Close the dialog, click F5 and you can view the YouTube video in PowerPoint now.

Remember, only have a live internet connection you can play your YouTube video in PowerPoint.

Sometimes there maybe some restriction that made us cannot connect the internet. In that case we should download the YouTube video to our computer, convert the YouTube video file (FLV file) to other format like MPEG, AVI, WMV, etc that PowerPoint can accept. Thus we no longer depend on the live internet connection. OK, here, I want to tell you the second way to do this.

Before you can download a video, you must install a capture/converter program. Here’s how:

Open your Firefox web browser, choose add-on in the tools menu. Click on the get add-ons tab, in the search box type media converter, this tool is totally free. Install the media converter then restart Firefox.

OK, now you’ll see a new icon that looks like a bird next to the web address field.

From now on, all you have to do is go to the page which you can view the YouTube video, click the media converter icon (the bird icon), choose the right format you want to convert, click next, OK, the video is successfully downloaded and converted.

I think insert a common video into PowerPoint will not be difficult for you. If you do not know how, learn how to insert video into PowerPoint.

Another tool, YouTube downloader, can easily download and convert the YouTube video. You just need to paste the YouTube video URL into the YouTube downloader and select the output video format, everything is OK.

Why should we do this?

Cost effective, if we can play PowerPoint on DVD machine, a MS office installed computer is not unnecessary for payback anymore. And this is the most benefit for school stuff or no-profit organizations. For commercial users, making a PowerPoint presentation for the products display and showing it with a DVD machine is more effective than the traditional advertisements.

Easier sharing, PowerPoint is powerful for creating engaging presentations but not easy for wide sharing, DVD is a ubiquitous medium, which is supported by most computers and players and DVD can storage more than 100 M data which is too big to deliver by E-mail.

Long time preservation, DVD your presentations will live for more than 50 years! DVD is Ideal for long time preservation, while a hard disk will die in 10 years.

You may find that in January 2008 alone, nearly 79 million users had made over 3 billion video views in the video sharing website YouTube. Some mobile set, like iPhone, iPod, zune and pocket PC spread fast. Why not use this intermedium to share our knowledge and show ourselves?

PowerPoint to Video converter can convert PowerPoint to almost all popular video formats such as MPEG, AVI, MP4, WMV, MOV, 3GP and so on. Acoolsoft provide a small tool called PPT2Video converter.

Follow the following steps you can convert PowerPoint presentation to video easily.

It is a very easy method that worth to have a try, I think, and, convert PowerPoint to DVD or covnert PowerPoint to video is depend on the situation you are in.

Part 3, convert PowerPoint to flash

Compared with video, flash is more fire wall friendly and the capacity is smaller. Converting PowerPoint to Flash would also be absolutely a good choice to distribute your bulky PowerPoint Presentation. You can do the whole PowerPoint-to-Flash conversion manually or by related software. But at first you should make sure you are not using any complicated gradients or animations. These will be interpreted poorly when they are brought into Flash. Convert your PowerPoint to flash you should download some PowerPoint add-ins like PPT2Flash, I think you can find the detail information here

Part 4, convert PowerPoint to PDF format

PDF is a print-friendly format so it is very popular in the office filed. PDF is the formats that can run at different operating system include Windows, UNIX, and Mac. If you want to read the PDF file, you can download the adobe reader from adobe’s official site for free. But if you want to convert your PowerPoint to PDF format, you should download the Adobe Acrobat or some other software like DeskPDF . But this method can’t remain the animations, sounds and video clips original from your PowerPoint.

Each PowerPoint converter has their outstanding feature. Playing PowerPoint on DVD machine can be used in business ceremony, family celebration or for courseware preserving. Converting PowerPoint to video or flash can be friendlier to the web, besides, converting PowerPoint to video the PowerPoint can play on most mobile sets. For print-friendly you can convert your PowerPoint to PDF but it cannot remain the dynamic element. With these PowerPoint converters we hope we can go freely with PowerPoint.
