Convert Powerpoint Presentatoin To Avi Video

About AVI
AVI (Audio Video Interleave), first introduced by Microsoft, is a special case of Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) which divides a file's data into blocks or chunks. An .avi file is used to store audio content or video content compressed with various codecs for playing by Windows Media Player on the computer installed with appropriate codecs. AVI files are supported by Microsoft and even by some standalone DVD players.

How to convert PowerPoint to AVI
Here follows two methods that are frequently used in converting PPT to AVI video.

Method 1 Using a professional PowerPoint to video converter like Moyea PPT to Video Converter
Moyea PPT to Video Converter is a popular program that enables you to capture sound and frames from the PowerPoint presentation and save them to any video format like AVI, WMV, MPEG, FLV, MP4, VOB, 3GP, 3G2, MOV or DV. Compared with other third-party software solutions, it is undoubtedly a perfect choice - with the best output effect yet the most competitive price to give you fun from video making.

After you have Moyea PPT to Video Converter installed on your computer, launch it and click Add to import PowerPoint files.
Step 2 Set the style to AVI and specify a directory for the output

Step 3 Make advanced settings in the Profile interface

Method 2 Creating AVI video from PowerPoint with Screen Recorder
You can also record your presentation using a screen recorder when it plays on your screen. An application like SnagIt will grab your slideshow at approximately 10 frames per second in case that the presentation has no embedded video clips. But if a full motion video is embedded in your slideshow, you need to use a powerful capture app like Camtasia ($299 per copy). 

Disadvantages: when using a screen recorder, you have to open your PowerPoint many times, for you can't convert a pile of PowerPoint at a time. Also, you cannot add music or any other effects in during the conversion. Note that this may cause loss of animations, transitions, sound tracks or something else in the source, too.

Compared the two methods above, now you can find Moyea PPT to Video Converter is the better - easy to use yet cost effective and powerful enough to preserve every dynamic element in your PowerPoint.
