Converting a presentation to DVD is great because it’s playable on any DVD player in the world, whether it be a laptop, desktop, or stand-alone DVD player. Converting to PDF is good for those who want to send the presentation slides electronically, but don’t want people to be able to edit or modify the slides. Finally, converting to Flash or video is useful for those who want to embed the presentation on a web site or simply show it using media player software.

converting to video is a great way to share your presentations with the world. You can convert to MP4 format and enjoy PowerPoint presentations on your smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device!

Convert PowerPoint to PDF

If you have the older versions of Office installed, then there is a really simple way to get your presentations into PDF format. All you have to do is save the file and choose PDF for the file type. I’ve been using this method for a while and it converts your presentation exactly as is to a PDF doc. First, open your presentation and click on File and then Save As.

In the save as dialog, choose PDF from the Save as type dropdown box. By default, it will be a standard size PDF, which means it can be used for printing or online publishing. If you want a smaller size PDF, choose a Minimum size (online publishing).

You can also choose to include slides in the PDF or notes, handouts, or outline.

If you’re running an older version of Office and there is no option to save as PDF, then your only option is to print the presentation to PDF format using software like CutePDF Writer. CutePDF Writer allows you to create PDFs for anything that you can print.

To print your presentation in CutePDF Writer, first download the free software and then follow these steps:

  1. Go to the link on the left side of this page and download both the free software and the converter.
  2. Install both of them on your computer.
  3. Open the free software and click on Get Zipped Setup. This will include both files in compressed format.
  4. Open PowerPoint and choose Print from the drop down menu.
  5. Choose CutePDF Writer from the list of printers and click on OK to start printing your presentation ..

Convert PowerPoint to Flash or Video

The second method is a little more complicated, but it’s also the best way to convert PowerPoint to video or flash. To do this, you’ll need to first create a new project in PowerPoint. Then, you’ll need to add a video or flash player into your project. Finally, you’ll need to add the following code into your presentation: Then, when you want to convert your presentation to video or flash, just click on the “Convert” button and enjoy!

In the newer versions of Office, you can save your presentation with all transitions and animations as a Windows Media file. Using third-party software, you can then convert this to flash, MP4, or whatever video format you need. First open the presentation and make sure you review your slideshow and adjust the timings for the animations/transitions. Try to make it as automated as possible without the need for mouse clicks as those will automatically be converted in the video, but the duration will be a default value instead of something of your choice.

Next, click File, then Save as and choose Windows Media Video for the file type this time around.

After clicking Save, you now have a video of your presentation! The quality of the video was impressive, and it matched the presentation in PowerPoint almost perfectly. ..

The second method involves taking a completed presentation and uploading it to a site called AuthorStream. You have to sign up to use the service, but it’s free and definitely worth it. AuthorStream will also keep any audio recordings that you may have in the presentation.

Once you have the presentation uploaded and converted, you can use the dropdown to choose which format to download it in. The video dropdown will let you convert it to an MP4 video (up to 5 minutes for free).

If you’re looking for ways to make your PowerPoint presentations more engaging and share them with others, you can check out Slideshare, iSpring, and Zoho Show.

If you want to convert Windows Movie Video to another format, you can use online video conversion tools or third-party software like HandBrake. You can also read my previous post where I explain the concept of transcoding and video file formats.

Convert PowerPoint to DVD

To get your PowerPoint presentation onto a DVD, you’ll first have to follow the instructions above to get you video into any video format. Then, you can follow the directions to burn the video to DVD.

Windows DVD Maker is a built-in program that can be used to create a DVD from a Windows installation. It was removed from Windows 8 for no apparent reason. There are third-party programs available that can be used to create DVDs from Windows installations, such as PowerDVD and MakeMKV. ..

Next, you have to choose the language for the DVD. I chose English. Then, you can choose the Region code for the DVD. I chose Region 1. Finally, you can choose how many discs you want to make. I just made two DVDs and they will be in two different Regions.

You can choose from different menu styles and customize the text, as well as preview the menu. Go ahead and play around with the options until you are happy with the results. For example, I removed Scenes from my DVD because I only have one video on it and it doesn’t make any sense.

Insert your DVD into your computer. Click Burn. You’ll have a playable DVD that can contain one or hundreds of PowerPoint presentations! For those of you who don’t have Windows DVD Maker, you can check out a free program called DVDStyler. ..

The best way to use Windows DVD Maker is to follow the steps below:

  1. Choose the type of DVD you want to make: Standard or Custom.
  2. Choose the language you want your DVD in: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, or Korean.
  3. Click on the “Create” button.
  4. Enter your name and email address for a customer support representative to contact you about yourDVD after yourDVD is created.
  5. Click on “Finish” to create your DVD!

This is it! Hopefully, using the guides above you have been able to convert your PowerPoint presentation into the desired format! If you have any questions, post a comment. Enjoy!
