Technically speaking, you can’t actually view a PowerPoint presentation using RealPlayer as a PowerPoint presentation. RealPlayer is great for viewing movies, though, and you can easily convert PowerPoint to a movie format using a couple of different methods. These methods are described below:
Moyea PPT to Video Converter
Moyea Powerpoint to Video Converter is a professional tool that converts PowerPoint presentations to video files in any of the popular formats with excellent output quality. Although the converted PowerPoint presentation is ideal for emailing or uploading to the Web, sharing by iTunes, blogs or YouTube, reviewing on iPad/iPod/iPhone/PSP, watching PowerPoint presentation on TV (and so on!), all we want to be able to do is watch the presentation on RealPlayer.
There is a wide range of different video formats you can export to, including:
- .mp4
- .avi
- .mov
- .rmvb (RealNetworks streaming media format)
- .flv
- .ts
- .vob
- .mpg
- .dat
- .wmv
- .asf
- .mkv
- .dv
There are a whole host of other simple to use options that let you convert to formats that are playable on iPhone, iPad, PS3, Wii, Xbox and many more devices.
You can set the quality as high or as low as you like, but even on the “medium” setting, the quality of the finished video is surprisingly good. There is even a trial version for you to download before you buy.
PowerPoint Save As Video
PowerPoint 2010 also comes with an in-built conversion tool that will convert your PowerPoint presentation (.ppt) to a Windows Media Video file (.wmv). To do this, click the File tab > Save as > Windows Media Video (*.wmv).
