I'm using PPT 2007 and this program a) didn't pick up my presentation timing and b) doesn't play embedded sound files. So, no good for me. Hello Google!

I have the same problem as 25, 32 and 51 - the program crashes when I try to convert a file. Darn - I want this program to work.
Save | Cancel
Program did not install properly - program does not work - goes into a loop and I need to use ctrl-alt-del to kill it!

this is the first software from gotd i downloaded, although i have been checking the site out for a couple of weeks now. based on the user comments, and the 15 minute review this one sounded like a winner.
so far so good. i don't really have a need for it presently, but i do have powrpnt and pptmovie makes it so much fun to play with.
did you know you can embed regular videos in a powrpnt slide, well i didn't until i downloaded and installed pptmovie.
thnx gotd!

Dang! It crashed on first use. "PPTMovie has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Have the rest of you actually tried it yet? (Win XP 1 Gig RAM Nvidia 6150).

I installes the program, it seems to have a lot of bugs with norton antivirus, also if your PPT file is password protected, you'll get errors. The program does not recognise PPS format (powerpoint show). Over all rating is thumbs down!!!

Yes it is.

Nice program; however, the end-product quality is poor. I tried one file with different settings (XviD as DVD, VGA, and XGA). In all cases the text on slides was difficult to read, which wasn't the case in the original ppt file. I guess this isn't surprising since it's taking a 100 MB file and reducing it to 6 MB. I didn't see a way to avoid the severe compression ratio.

Installed the software and everything ran smoothly. My only suggestion to the publisher is to add support to ensure videos (movies) added to the presentation (see Insert on the Menu bar) can be played. I ran the program through a presentation with a movie and was disappointed to see that the video did not play.
Great site GOTD. Keep up the good work. This site has motivated me to access the web everyday. I would not forgive myself for missing a great GOTD offer!!!

Thanks Fubar comment #24
This is very useful software for my wife who lectures at a sixth form college. Also a nice user interface (GUI) that's easy to understand. No problems installing and setting it up. Tested out fine. easy as making apple pie. Thank you PPT expert and the GAotD team for another excellent and useful peogram. :)
Thank you #69, I haven't checked that out yet.

No use to me right now, but I'll download it just in case I need it in the future.

I was anxious to try this. Downloaded easily. Opened and converted a powerpoint I already had. Then I went to view the .avi file it became and I get a huge watermark banner on every slide that says it is a trial version. This makes it totally useless! Why would anyone want to try to read the powerpoint around the trial version words? I thought we were able to get the real program for free. It doesn't even matter how long the trial version is good for because of the label on every slide that ruins the presentation.

Looks not too shabby, but the sticker price for what's there is hardly worth it in my opinion. Well okay, it was my neighbours opinion too, but didn't want to get him involved in case there's a hit for this. ;=}
Also: If anyone is interested, theres a super slick security app out
and it's very welcomed by my self.
SpyBot SD has also given it the big thumbs up.
Check it out at " www.malwarebytes.org "
It's powerful, it's free and it hits hard against the 'Rogue' security progams out there. RogueRemover (pro - 30 day free eval).
I mention this solely because of what GAOTD is doing and I'd really like to see far more security apps involved here. So I guess maybe I'm suggesting GAOTD maybe talk with them (and others of course).
Hope you let this be posted.
Thanks, ...the BigK

This is a great software. I can find so many uses for it. Deliver your Point Point file over the web, add controls, audio and more. The User Interface is nice and usable. Many video codecs to choose from, defined output settings to custom ones.

Here's a useful Microsoft link about this subject, and another link (found on the first site) to a free Powerpoint add-in that can help you capture complex animations:

Great software but why does PPTmovie not support OpenOffice.Org? Thanks GAOTD!

Disappointing - I have several really excellent PPT files and none will work with this software - I think GOTD could have specified a little more clearly what it does and doesn't work with. Having said that I have downloaded some really cool software since I found the site. Keep up the good work GOTD - be careful to specify what the giveaway will work on though.

just downloading it and i'll see what it can do later as to being a new product to me. yes i do have power point in my computer but i've not made one up as yet. so all this, is, just too new to me so i'll be taking my time with it. (01-May-2007 NZSTZ ).

#82 PPTmovie does require PowerPoint installed on your machine.

I had no problems installing it, but I too get an error message when using it... Big bummer...

reg 57 and 59 : if anybody has the same problem: In installed the whole thing a new- and had the option of decode for the 4 ccs checked, (second option you are asked for in installation) now everything seems to work fine however, a ppt file which is 2mb in total makes up 25 mb in mp2- that's something to think about- still an interesting pgm
Save | Cancel
Agree with # 69...others may be having this problem....It only converts powerpoint slide show ...if you have a powerpoint multimedia presentation ; the program shows "Run time error and shuts down"

Does a good job, no problems installing or using. I have XPpro and PPT 2003.

Nice program, but I see it is a trial version. The read me file does not say if there are other limitations beside no commerical use.I am eger to find out how long I can use it for free.

Love your site! You do a great service and should be commended GAOTD. I downloaded the PPTmovie. It installed perfectly, but when I start to use it, I get the dreaded "microsoft has encountered a problem and must close." This happened both times I tried to use it. Any ideas or fixes?
Save | Cancel
May i sugest something?Always try to put the activation.exe separated from the setup.exe because if someone needs to do some formatting in their PC and want to use program again we can still use if we of course had saved the program into a non central partition

REQUEST for CLARIFICATION:
Can the developer of PPTmovie please clarify whether Microsoft Office Powerpoint really needs to be installed, or (as #47 stated) whether OpenOffice Impress or simply stand-alone .ppt files are sufficient for PPTmovie to make the conversions to .avi, .mpeg, etc.? Thank you.
Save | Cancel
I didn't realize that there would be a big label across every slide in the project. I thought this was a genuine freebie, that could be used. Or have I dode or not done something? If anyone can help me I'd be pleased, as it seems ideal for my needs.
Save | Cancel
Installed, activated - no problem - very good interface.
Thereafter... oh dear... I ran the prog with a 350Kb Powerpoint file - nothing sopecial - 90% text, no audio, only a couple of pictures... I didn't change any of the settings, it being my first effort, and clicked the record button. I waited, and waited and waited and.... After 45 minutes I clicked on stop. Then began the compression part of the conversion. I waited and I waited... you get the idea. The resulting video loaded up OK but the screen didn't change - it remained firmly on the opening slide.
One 'feature' that is essential, but not available, is the option to abort the process. OK, you can pause /stop the recording but the compression part? Well, I couldn't stop it. Ctrl-Alt-Del didn't sort it and in the end I had to switch / re-boot. Luckily I was able to fall back on an Acronis Image so was able to get shut of the whole PPT Movie thing.
Finally, I visited the developer's site - address? Location? Company info? Nothing. I got the impression the prog had been put together by students as part of a university assignment.
Sorry to be so critical, perhaps my PC let me down? [It hasn't to date with anything else from GOTD]. Would I buy it? Not a chance.
Thanks to GOTD and PPT Movie - always appreciate the giveaway but, sadly, not today.

The program installed and activated just fine, but it does not work. Keep getting a "runtime error" message, so have given up and uninstalled. Looked like it might be a great program -- if only it'd work!! Very disappointed. (Guess you get what you pay for, huh?)

Nice program... Similar in idea to Flashcreator which was on GOTD a few months ago.

#59 Yo mike i wish I could fix the blackouts too once and for all, like I wish i could fix and make them disappear from this world, for good they don't deserve to be around in such a good program.

Nice but misleading. It converts a slide show only.
Powerpoint is more than a slide show.
This program does not support multimedia powerpoint.
