PowerPoint DVD Maker

Hi Minhu,

Since you put it out here:
This product looks pretty cool and will be great for folks
who want to send their presentations straight to DVD.
Price is ok, but I think $100 or less is more reasonable
since the flexibility is limited. Your DVD to DVD copy is
much more appropriately priced. Especially since I think
your biggest purchasers will be individuals instead of
companies. Most companies will distribute the native
PowerPoint files on an autorun CD. Companies use PCs,
people use DVDs.


Two features I might pay the extra money for:

Save to hard drive (for video editing, etc). I realize I
could copy the files back from the DVD, but I'd want the
choice up front.

Ability to close caption the DVD (the right thing to do
and required for the U.S. government)

One person's thoughts...

Thanks for the preview.

Glenna
 
Minhu,

Couple of things worry me about your post.

1) It is a thinly veiled advertisement. While this type of product is often
requested by posters to the PowerPoint newsgroup, your post was not in
response to any of them. You also do not disclose your association with
ProDVD, except in your return email address. Asking for feedback seems a
little lame, when you are really asking them to buy your product. I don't
mind you are selling it, but please be upfront with your request. Ideally,
you could suggest your product as a solution to posters looking for
PPT-to-DVD conversion options.

2) Similar PowerPoint-to-movie-format products have been available for a
while. They are generally poor quality, especially when comparing a DVD/VHS
(on TV screen) resolution to PowerPoint Presentation (on a monitor)
version. There are many factors for this, system resources, CPU speed,
movie format, screen resolutions, etc. Your site does not state your
product's screen resolutions, frame capture rates, overall performance for
an 'average' computer (1 GHrtz & 256 RAM), or other useful comparison
information. PowerPoint can be a huge system resource hog, sucking
virtually all free CPU cycles during some transitions or animations, how
does your capture product handle this? Does your product capture better
than others? Show me.



Please do not get the wrong impression, I am glad that you have written this
software, it is very badly needed. But users don't need it if it is written
badly. Could you please post some more detailed information on your
product?

I have used the PowerPoint DVD Maker, and tried another application:
PowerPoint2DVD.
IMHO, I think the latter is more powerful and stable than the former.

Has it actually been fixed so that it works?

I keep hearing that it doesn't work.
 
Why don't you try yourself? Trial is free, why not do that?
If it doesn't work, you can also choose other products.
Don't just believe how others say it before you try anything yourself,
somebody get problem may because their wrong operations or
bad settings...etc
You can use the both products and then compare with the two,
you'll find which one you prefer really. And don't think this is just a
waste of time,
keeping reading thru threads in groups waste you more time.
