How to Convert a Power Point Presentation to Video
PowerPoint slideshows can be used in all sorts of situations that call for a visual presentation. Presentations, or slideshows, created in PowerPoint can play on their own, making them similar to movie files. The files are not technically movie files though, meaning that they cannot play in standard media players, like Windows Media Player or Apple's QuickTime Player. If you want to make PowerPoint presentations compatible with media players, you must convert the presentation files into video.
