Copying a Presentation to Videotape
While not normally considered an optimal presentation method, sometimes VHS video is the only format that will do for a presentation, for one reason or another.If you have a video card with TV/video out capability, such as an ATI All-InWonder card, the process is very easy. Hook the video card to your VCR with a compatible cable (S-Video if possible, because it's the best quality), press Record on the VCR, and start the presentation on the PC. It doesn't get much easier than that.If you don't have a video card with TV/video out, consider buying one; they're not that expensive, and you will be saving yourself a tremendous amount of grief and headache. Otherwise, you will need to buy a scan converter, which is an external box that converts between PC and TV/VCR, and a decent one of those will be around $150, which is probably more than you would spend on a basic video card with TV/video out.
| Note | If you are determined not to buy a video card with TV/video out, see the excellent tutorial produced by the PowerPoint 2000 MVP team at www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/recordvhs, providing much more thorough coverage of the topic than I have presented here. |
But wait-you'll want to do some testing before recording your presentation to VHS in its entirety. TV screens, especially the old-time picture tube types (not so much with the newer plasma ones), show colors and shapes differently than PC monitors, and what looks good on the PC may not look so hot on a TV. Before doing the final recording, hook up a television to the VCR and do a test recording. You may decide you need to adjust some colors in the presentation, for example, or change the slide dimensions.
