Powerpoint Mac to PC Slideshow problem

[Anthony]

I am trying to do a slideshow for my wedding on my Mac using Office v. X. I
saved the file as a Powerpoint slideshow, movie and I even packaged it and
in all 3 versions the timings are off (ie 5 seconds on the mac equal 0.5
seconds on a PC using XP). As anyone else experienced this problem and did
you find a solution?

I am actually not a Mac user but do have some experience with
PowerPoint on PC.

Due to the coding difference on these two platforms, you slide show
may not be played
as the way intended. One common know error is the repositiong of
images on slide by "Copy and Paste".

My suggestions is to go to Flash, You can convert your wedding
slideshow to a Flash file so that it can played on
both platforms. In addtion, since it is Flash, so there is not need to
install PowerPoint or PowerPoint viewer on the computers. Any web
browser or free Adobe Flash player can view the converted webdding
slideshow.

You can use a Free converter to convert PowerPoint to static Flash
slideshow.
Open Office or Powerbullet Presenter

If you want to retain a animated Flash slideshow with
audio,transition, animations, you may need a commercial converter.

King marsh is quite right, and my suggestion is convert your Slides to
Video format, so you can play with other devices such as DVD Player
\MP4\iPod and so on, you can also convert to MP4 or FLV video
format ,then upload to website like YouTube or MySpace, it's just a
piece of cake ~ but you must make sure the tool you used can run well
on your MAC operating system ~now let's take a short introduction

purchase the product before you make sure it really fit for
you )http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-video.html
