Software to convert PPT to DVD

[wolfhound]

I am looking for a software package that will convert a PowerPoint presentation into a DVD compatiable format (VOB files). I have done some looking around and I found one software package for $99.00 however, there is no trail download.

If anyone knows of a trail or shareware software package I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hello wolfhound!
In my opinion "presentation to video converter" at geovid looks very worth. I use it a couple months and I havn't any problems.
It costs 199.95 USD. But as for as I know it's possible download trial version.

Well I don't know what about you but I don't trust "free" progs.
I've never seen something worth and free .
Besides as far as I can see ppt2dvd converts ppt only to dvd. But "presentation to video converter" can make video and flash formats and also GIF. I think it's very useful for user. It doesn't need to search for some tools. ) It saves time and money I guess.

I have no problem at all with free software as long as it does what it's supposed to do and it doesn't install spyware. There is a LOT of good free software out there for all kinds of uses.

ppt2DVD that PAM123 pointed you to is not free. It is $99.95 shareware. You can try it for free. If you like it and wish to continue using it, you have to pay.

It is a free trial version by which they mean you can use it for the next month before you have to buy it or uninstall it.

i agree- i don't trust free tools. i'm afraid of them in some way.
i tried this Presentation to video converter- it works great, a really worhtwhile program just to everyone who is interested in it (especially i liked that the output isn't only in video formats, but in flash and gif too). thanks for this information, Shanks!

Software companies love people who don't trust freeware. That's how they make money. I'm not scared of freeware. A lot of it is good enough. They are usually simpler and don't have a lot of bloat.l

I ALWAYS search SF.net first for freestuff. There are some incredible open-source things that are way better then anything you pay for. Working on one of those products myself, we fill a niche that is totally unfilled by any other piece of software on the internet.

I urge you to give everything a chance, many times things like PHPBB, getID3(), PHP, etc are better than anything else. Considering most of the awesome things on the net are written in a "free" code....why not give it a try, that or don't trust these boards

why not? It's ppl like you and me that can make free tools. It's a smaller world than you think it is.
