Thanks Max and Steve. In my case I don't have words, just photos/graphics,
and embedded short video clips, using the cheezy PPT effects :-) (Max I
believe you're thinking of presenting the words in sync for worship singing?
The church uses something called "MediaShout" for sing along.)

The music for my PPT is played from an external source as well, it is not
embedded in the PPT. Although for developing the timings, the music could
be embedded, then then remove it so the final video is silent. The actual
music during worship will probably be "live", though it could be the same
recording just not played through the PC with the PPT. If "live" there is a
click track audio that does come from the PC with the PPT.

So this is why I looked for an (inexpensive) PPT to video converter, becasue
we have so many PPT files like this already (perhaps a more expensive one
would work better than the ones I've tried!).

I've never used Vegas. I see that Vegas Movie Studio is about $75 and can
create slideshows into video. Do you know if an existing PPT be loaded in?
I couldn't find that info on Sony's site.

I suspect not.
I just tried and even with "all media types" selected it doesn't see a .ppt file.

Hey Sue,
How about plain old Windows Movie Maker.
I use it all the time and it seems to work as well if not better than PP.
Easy as heck too. Saves as wmv. files.

I tried that once... I can't recall why I didn't like it :-( Maybe I
should look at that again. Thanks Poly!
