Importing Powerpoint into VideoStudio

[mark williams]

Can anyone tell me....

How can I convert multimedia files from Opus/Powerpoint etc. into a video file for making a VideoCD via Ulead VideoStudio6? (i.e.. playable without a PC, via a DVD player).

Many magazines convert screen activity into avi files for "How to videos", so what is the method?

Anyone know how?

A few methods can be used.

For PowerPoint, the easiest way wouldbe to export from PowerPoint to a JPEG or BMP and import into your editing software.

For screen capture, there are a number of programs around. The easiest I have is Microsoft Camcorder which came as part of Office 97 although can be downloaded for free here , which produces an AVI file.

Others are things like Lotus ScreenCam (not sure if it still exists).



Okay so the above link doesn't work but I have found a link that does work (for now).

PS

I am not sure on the legality of the licence on the above download. According to Microsoft, if you have any office program from the 97 or 2000 suite, you are okay so please check first.
