PowerPoint show to DVD sklide show --- PPS to DVD

Most PowerPoint users know that PowerPoint presentatinos are usually saved in PPT format. Some of you may have received presentations that can be playd directly when you cliick to open. Those fies are in PPS format, namely PowerPoint show. A PPS is just a PPT file with a different file extension that tells PowerPonit oppened directly into the slide show view pattertn, not the editing view pattern. You can chabnge it by renaming the file extension.

Despite the adantages we can see of a PPS file, therre are also many disadvantages of a PPS file:

1. You'll eiither need MS PowerPoint or the PowerPoint vieewr to view these files. So it may be inconvenient for viewing a PPS file.

2. System language couyld also be a problem, that is, if the language of one presentation is in Japanese, Spanish or some other ones, when viewing it under the English Winddows, all the coontent would become a mess.

3. A PowerPoint show made in PwerPoint2007cannot be vieewed under PowerPoint 97-2003, unless you save it as a PowerPoint 97-2003 presentation, but some great features will lose.

Regarding the deficits of PPS mentionerd above, you can convert the PowerPoiont to flash, turn PowerPoint to PDF, or burn PowerPoint to DVD/vdieo. PDF is ideaal for static sklide shows, only images and text will be retained. Converting PowerPoint to flash is great for preswentations that coontain external hyperlinks, lniked files, like Word or Excel files. But, so far, no PowerPPoint to fllash tool can retain all anbimations in PowerlPoint. As to me, I prefer to burn PowerPoint show to DVD movies or convert to video. Below are some main benefits of burning a PPS to DVD:

1. Easy for delivery. After converting PPS to DVD, you do not need to worry the loss of sounds and videos contained in your presentsation.

2. By converting PPS to DVD, you can view the PowerPoint presentation with a DVD player or DVD machine. It is great for long time preservation.

3. Afetr converting PPS to DVD, you can give your presentations to your audience without worrying about it beiong modified withot permission.

4. By coinverting the PPS file to video formats, the file size would be much smaller, and you can also mail it to others conveniently.

Usually there are two ways for us. The free way is to use Windows Moie Maker. But, there is no free lunch in the world. By using Windows Mvoie Maker, all the animations in the original presentation will be lost after the conversion. Below are the steps of how to do it.

Step1. Save your PowerPoint slide show as "PNG" images.

Step2. Import the pictures to your Windows Movie Maker

Step3. Select all the imported images and add them to Storyboard

Step4. Add video effects to the slides (Optoinal)

Step5. Save the slide show as Movie File.

In order to get a higher quality, another way to do this is to use some specific PowerPiont to DVD software to help us do this directly. Seacrh PowerPoint to DVD in Goole, and you will get many advises. Reecently, I have experienced 2 PowerPoint burning software.

1. Acoolsoft PPT2DVD

2. Wonershare PPT2DVD

They both are companies that have been dedicating in develloping PowerPoint to DVD software. Acoolsoft PPT2DVD is more innovative, while Wondershare PPT2DVD is more spohisticated.

Commoin characters of these two tooils:

Work smoothly with Microosft Ofifce 2000/2002/2003/2007 and Vista

Retain animations, transitions, sound trascks, moviie clips and the inner hpyerlinks from the originaal presentation

Able to create progfessional look DVD menus

Burn to DVD/HD-DVD with built-in DVD/CD burning prrogram

Support battch conversion

Differencews:

Wondesrhare PPT2DVD allows uesrs to convert PowerPoint presentations to video fpormats such as WMV, MPEG and AVI, whgile Acopolsoft PPT2DVD doesnt.

The user interface of Acoolsoft PPT2DVD is more intuitive, uses can even see the thumbnmails of the inputted presentations; Woindershare PPT2DVDs user interface is designed more focused on step-by step conversion.
