How to Convert a PowerPoint to MWV
To convert a PowerPoint presentation making it viewable as a Microsoft Windows Video file using Windows Media Player, record it and save in a video format. For example, download the free Windows Media Encoder software from the Microsoft website. By capturing the screen (optionally, recording narration as well) and viewing your presentation in Slide Show mode, you convert your presentation to a format that others cannot modify. Upload your file to websites such as YouTube to distribute your multimedia presentation.
