It appears your problem has nothing at all to do with PowerPoint. (If you
can't capture the video and sound). I suggest talking to the folks you bought the hardware and software from.

... i have powerpoint 2000 windows xp i want to video from a vhs tape to a data writer so that i can add it into powerpoint Here is a tutorial on recording your presentation to VHS. Perhaps you can use this technique to play your presentation on the TV through the VCR and run some capturing software on your computer to create a digital video file. I would recommend Camtasia to do that capture. There is a trial version available so it won't cost you anything to try. Record PPT to VHS: http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorial.../recordvhs.htm Camtasia: http://www.techsmith.com Windows Media Recorder might be a good option as well, but I believe its interface isn't as intuitive. i bought the dazzle program with the cords. installed the cd and it only would allow me to capture audio. then when i restored my computer my audio died on my computer. i called gateway and they gave me a link to restore my sound. then i tried a pinnacle software with no luck as well. Thank you for finally posting this information. If I recall correctly, Dazzle by default creates videos that use a proprietary codec, so they often need to be re-rendered using settings more compatible with PPT. And one or another of the Pinnacle products seems to overwrite some codecs PPT needs in order to play video. Since you're not even getting to the point where you've got a digital video to work with, then we don't need to go that route with troubleshooting. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com |

Coach,
It sounds like you are trying to do some altogether new things with your students so I thought we can see if we can sort through your situation. From your various posts you want to do something like this. You have a VCR tape with content and want to capture it to a computer file so you can use it in various ways, one of them being PowerPoint. To do this you have bought both hardware and software to do the capturing work. Apparently this is not working and you have been unable to resolve it. Once you have the video on your computer you would like to put it in a PowerPoint presentation and then show it on two TVs at the same time. Is that pretty much it? So lets do this. Collect the model numbers of your hardware and the version numbers of your software and then post the information in this same thread. With that I think we might be able to solve the first issue, capturing the video correctly for later use. Then we can look at where you want to use it.

I have done this in the following manner:
1. I installed a capture card in my computer (Osprey 210 good but expensive). I took the composite output (rew, white and yellow) from the vcr to the inputs of the capture card. I ran Windows Media Encoder (free download) and captured the input to a WMV file. I can then insert in PowerPoint or just play in Windows Media Player. The Dazzle method should work if you have their capture card. "Austin Myers" wrote in message ...

I think at this point you need to contact the people at Pinnacle for
support. Once you get your VHS video digitized, we can try to help you if you can't get it to play in PPT. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Coach Mike Wyatt" wrote in message ... sorry it has took me so long to respond,,,called summer....golf okedokey here is what i have a gateway 500 computer my software is dazzle digital video creator 80 pinnacle digital imaging version 7 version 2.2 yes i am tryiing to integrate video for my students... i am constantly trying to upgrade my teaching skills pretty cool for a coach huh? |
