How to Convert Your Photo Library to Video

By | September 26, 2010 |

photos-video-movieWhenever I am back from a family trip, the first thing I do is connect my Digital camera to the computer and copy all the photos to my hard drive. But the one problem which I regularly face regarding these photos is when the rest of the family members request to see the same on my computer. It kills my time as I have to sit down and open the photos one by one while others view them.

Another problem is that other members of my family do not know how to operate my laptop and whenever I am away from home, they are unable to view the photos.

Then I thought – “Wait, why not burn these photos on a DVD drive as a video so that my family members can watch them on the Television. They can watch all the photos in my absence and there is no need to use the computer at all.”

So basically there are two steps involved:

1. Use a software application to create a video from a bunch of pictures.
2. Burn the video on a CD or DVD drive.

Here are two free programs which can be used to create a video from a large collection of photos:

How to Extract Audio From a Video File Using Pazera Audio Extractor

By | July 13, 2010 |

pazera-music-notesThere are times when you want to extract only the audio of a video file. Maybe you have dozens of music videos stored in your computer’s hard drive and you want to convert all of them to mp3 files. Then you may want to copy these mp3 files to your iPod or MP3 player so that you can listen to the music on the move.

We have earlier discussed how to Rip audio from a YouTube video using uTubeRipper. But just in case you want to extract audio from a video file stored in your computer, this tutorial will be useful.

Although there are quite a good number of websites, tools and software available to convert a video file to audio, I found Pazera Free Audio extractor the simplest and most user friendly. I don’t recomend using web services to convert videos to audio because you have to first upload the video in their servers and then wait for some hours for the conversion to take place. When the conversion is over, you will again have to download the converted audio file. This is very time consuming and in some cases, the results are not very accurate.

How to Convert Powerpoint Presentations to Videos

By | January 27, 2010 |

leawo-mainSometimes it becomes necessary to convert Powerpoint presentations into video files. The computer where you are doing the presentation may not have the necessary office software installed or you want to view the presentation in your television. In such cases, you need to convert the pptx file into proper video formats and burn the video in a CD or DVD.

Why not the screen record way?

An alternative to converting the presentation to video may be using a screen recording tool and record the entire screen while playing the presentation. This method has several disadvantages:

  • You have to sit back and change the slides which can be tiring if you have a lot of slides to consider.
  • The transitions may not be accurate. This means that the timing may not be the same for all the slides and you lose out on perfection.
  • After the screen recording is complete, you still have to do finer adjustments and edit it anyway.
  • The screen recording might not be saved in the formats you want, e.g ipod, mobile etc.

Thus it becomes necessary that you use a Powerpoint to video convertor for better results. Here is Leawo Powerpoint to video converter, a free software which can convert Powerpoint presentations to all the major video formats for use in computer, Dvd, iPod, iTouch, mobile etc.
