RaptorQuiz Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Okay here's the low-down. I am creating a powerpoint presentation that will detail some various features and info about our company. The purpose of this presentation is that it will play (from a DVD) on the TV located in our 2 waiting rooms. Well I need help with a couple things. #1: I'm pretty well versed with Powerpoint, BUT - I do NOT know if there is a utility or some other method to put the presentation onto a DVD and have it play in a regular DVD player... any help on this would be appreciated. #2: Here's where I'm appealing to all the graphical designers who have shown off all their excellent work in here. I would like to have a semi fancy background that would be the template for all of the slides in the presentation... or maybe 2 or 3 backgrounds that I could alternate. I am decent with graphics, but some of the stuff I have seen done in here with sigs and wallpapers simply blows me away. Basically I'd be wanting something that would be eye-catching and visually pleasing, BUT - it would have to be simple enough that text and other pictures placed on it thru powerpoint wouldn't be overshadowed BY the background. Also, it should really have the business logo in one of the corners somewhere - probably lower left or right. I'd really appreciate anybody taking a crack at making something like this for me. Thanks for anyone that is willing to help out. LINK TO LOGO: http://www.autospaetc.com/grafx/autospa_logo3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Try doing a google search for PowerPoint to AVI or PowerPoint to DVD. There are many applications out there for this purpose. Another option would be to use a program like Fraps to record your presentation. You could then burn the resulting .avi to a DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhath Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 for me, fraps would be last resort... i would think ud use lose a lot of image quality, especially if its gonna be shown on a big screen i would try to google for an app first edit: check this out http://www.halldavidson.net/PowerPointMovie%20.htm edit2: or this http://www.newfreedownloads.com/find/power...t-to-movie.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks carter and thank you, jhath! That's pretty helpful for question #1! Now I just need to hope for some graphical wizard to wanna take a quick stab at #2. lol. The way I've seen some people crank out the sigs and wallpapers, I figure it isn't that much to ask. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhath Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 well, kc is your man for that... not me... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 He is definately among the visual wizards around here. But I know he's busy with TotalMLB and his 3d model stuff... so I'll just wait around for a while to see if anybody volunteers to take a crack at it, before I go directly to people and start hounding them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Well, in school, I made alot of cash for doing peoples computer projects, and getting them passing grades until the teacher made me start grading them, then people just paid me to write 100's in her book. I'll take a whack at it, and if it looks good IMO, I'll e-mail it to you. OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Sounds good! Thanks man! I did similar stuff - but I kinda want it to look "fancier" than I am really capable of. I do the "professional" look pretty well, but have never really done the fancy stuff with the brushes and strokes etc that some of the Photoshop artists around here do. Hence, all my sigs that I make aren't really in the same class as some of these folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Well, I have a god idea in mind, and so far, its working out for me. My tutor's going to be here soon, so I'll work on it after she leaves, which is after about 15 minuets, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Ok, I'm done. I did the "Title" slide, and one for the other slides. PM me an e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 PM'ed you! And to anybody else (KC, 59fifty, anyone...) that might wanna take a stab at this - please don't hesitate to do so. I would love to have multiple backgrounds and/or choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaptorQuiz Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I never actually got anything from medric. Let me know if this was just in error, or if you lost interest, med. Otherwise - anyone else who might want to help me out - I'd be very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59FIFTY Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Do you want only fractal, i tried to make it look that there was a storm. If its too small etc just say it;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 dude that is AWESOME. Anything either 640x480 or 1024x768 would be best, but I can make do with anything, probably. Any way you could do something that looks like raindrops or soap bubbles or something in the background too? I don't wanna just ask you for a bunch of work tho - so just lemme know if you don't feel like messing with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
