Make a video from a PowerPoint presentation
Thanks to Amit Agarwal for his tutorial

Why would you want to convert a PPT file to video anyway?
Well, you may want the PPT to go out with music to make it more appealing or you may want it to be iPod compatible. Both of these are possible
Basically, your powerpoint needs some action
- slide transitions with timings or
- voice narration
if you don’t have any action, then it will remain as a PPT file.
- Get an authorSTREAM account (free)
- upload the PPT file
- wait till it is converted – may take an hour or so
- Download the video file or
- embed it into your blog or add it to iTunes (not managed to do this bit yet!)
You can also do all this from within PowerPoint using authorPOINT lite (free)

- this adds another item to your PowerPoint menu bar
- click on the authorPOINT icon
- This will then allow you to directly upload to
- WizIQ or
- AuthorStream
