PPT files to Video
 
Hello Everyone,

I would like to ask some help to you. I teach in a public school (in Manaus-AM) and there I can only use an overhead projector or a TV with a DVD player. We don�t have a projector to use with  the computer unfortunately. Anyway, I would like to use PPT files to make it easy and more interesting not only for me, but for the students as well. They don�t have books and it�s not easy to take many copies at school (they have a limit of 50 copies a month per teacher - I teach in 9 classrooms with about 40 students each).

The point is, I have tried to use some softwares to convert PPT to Video formats, but I didn�t succeed on that. The DVD player doesn�t �read� the Disc with the file converted. And burning the presentation (in a video format) is the only way to show them to my students.

Has anybody faced the same problem I�m facing now? If so, tell me how did you solve it, please.

If somebody knows how to help me anyway, please give me instructions. I�m here to learn.

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes, Hug

Vanessa Marruche

a little pointer. �Most dvd players will play different formats. �You will need to check before you burn all those dvd�s. �P.S. they will also play normal cd�s with video files. :) �My suggestion is to get a rewriteable CD (only 1) as they are more expensive, and use as a tester, to check the videos.
