Here is part of my email from a few days ago. Contact me for more
information.
You can download for free the microsoft media encoder
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder/default.aspx).
This program will allow you to record your computer screen as a WMV
format (windows movie format). There are several settings, the ones I
have played with that seem to work best are for compression use file
download (computer playback) and for video use DVD quality video (2MBPS
CBR or the 1 MBPS CBR setting)- having the 2 pass encoding doesn't work
on my computer, not sure why. From there, press record on the encoder,
then play the powerpoint presentation. It will save it as a WMV file.
Then use TMPEng to conver this to a DVD or super VCD MPEG file. From
there use VCDEasy or whatever you want to make a VCD or DVD.

Since you only asked for ppt->avi conversion the responses below are
very good...but not knowing the application I can also tell you that
to convert a PPT to a "movie" file can be accomplished a couple of
other ways..."depending on what you're trying to accomplish"
1) Try looking over the TechSmith website (Camtasia Studio)
[www.techsmith.com] - they have a "screen capture" utility that shows
what your screen shows (whether it's a ppt 'show' or a how-to-do-it
demo
2) One of my newest favorites is AgilityPresenter
[www.agilitypresenter.com] which "records" your presentation 'and' a
video shot (bring-yur-own-video-camera, of course) and turns it into a
3-panel presentaion (video-head-shot, slide-presentation,
list-of-slide-titles)
3) Microsoft Producer (free plug-in for PPT) also is a method for
showing-off your presentation which allows more complex transitions
and features...
So...I hope this isn't a 20-pound response to a good 2-ounce question
(I don't know what that translates to in metrics...sorry)...but I
thought I'd share a litle bit of what was shown-off at PPTLive...

There is also Media Encoder 9 or Media Encoder 7. Both are free from
Microsoft. Not too intuitive, but Encoder will capture sound as well, and
will format in WMV, if that's what you want.

By the way, was it NAPP that you mentioned on Wednesday? I'm going to sign
up for Photoshop World in San Francisco (March 2004), if that's the
organization you recommended.

This question appears regularly in this forum and I see
there are many suggestions here on how you can do this.
For my own information I wondered about the following:
1. Why do you want to have an avi of a powerpoint
presentation in the first place?
why not just show it in power point?
I can understand why people would like an existing
presentation converted to be shown on a different medium,
DVD diesc or a video tape but I cant figure out why anyone
would need to convert to avi.
2. When the powerpoint is converted, what is the visual
quality like?

For some it might be a way of protecting the content from modification. For
others it may be driven by a need to incorporate the slides with other video
footage. For still others it may be the preferred method for presenting
content on the Web. For others it might be for reasons I haven't dreamed
of.
In my opinion, the quality will never be comparable to the quality of the
original presentation when played in PowerPoint on a display monitor.
