Thanks for your help Drew,
I have finished the presentation and put it on to DVD and it works.
The method was a bit involved but all worked fairly simply; I created the slideshow in Impress
mainly because I wanted to have a scrapbook type of look to it and Impress has a background that
just looks like a wire bound book page so I used it. Then the problems started when I tried to
output it to DVD, the SWF file produced by Impress didn’t seem to want to open in anything, not
even a dedicated Flash Player. Soooo, I then exported each image as a tiff file and used an
application called Imagination to produce the slide show, the only complaint was that it didn’t
have a transition that looked like a page turning so I used random selection of the many provided
instead. Imagination produced a VOB file which I was able to open in DeVeDe and author it to an
iso image which I then burned to DVD with K3B. Anyway all a lot of mucking around from one package
to another but a more than satisfactory result.
Cheers
Rod

Thanks for that Drew,
I will download swfdec flash player and try it. I have made a slideshow in Impress, there’s half
a gig of it, it is simply a series of still images in four sections with some music in the
background with 10s between slide changes; I want to put the presentation onto a DVD that can be
played on a standard DVD player. The presentation is on a machine running Ubuntu 11.10 but I can
port it to a Windoze machine if necessary. If I’d thought it was going to be this hard I’d have
used some other authoring method. The main stumbling block seems to be the SWF file but I’ll try
with your recommendation.
Hi Rod,
Yes, to be fair Impress would not have been my first choice for this at
all - and it still might be worth the time to switch to something like
OpenShot - if the images are on your disc then putting something like
this together should be a very quick exercise.
Just to answer the other query here - I tend to use XVidCap for screen
captures - but you have to understand that this will not get you a full
25 frames per second, let alone 30 FPS - on my machine I can get maybe
13 FPS if I run Impress and the capture utility under the same host and
this means that you have to double all your timings as when the final
render is done at 25 FPS.
So when I need to do this what I do is use VirtualBox to run Impress in
a guest OS (usually OpenSuse) and run the screen capture utility in the
Host - this will get me maybe another 4 FPS on the capture without
having to drop the quality and or size during capture.
Finally - OpenShot is really nice for video effects and not bad for
working with audio - but my workflow is usually to use both OpenShot for
video transitions and then mix the audio tack(s) into this using PitiVi.
I know that sounds a bit convoluted but once you have done it a few
times you can get fairly quick.
I'll give you an example - a few weeks back I tuned in to a live
broadcast by Jono Bacon (canonical) about, amongst other things,
loco-teams and at the end of his broadcast he grabs his axe and starts
to riff...cool.
So - I quick turn on soundrecorder to capture the audio - jump to the
Ubuntu wiki and grab a piece of art work - use GIMP to produce a couple
quick images for text overlay and use OpenShot to mix it up.
Literally 30 minutes after his broadcast is finished I was able to
upload this little (a bit rough on audio level..) video:
http://baseanswers.com/ubuntu/ubutu200.mp4
[BTW consider this public domain]
Anyway - long way to say - if this project is worth doing, you really
should consider doing it with the right tools and Impress isn't it, IMO.
Best wishes,

Hi
I use Swfdec Flash Player to view that kind of files... but it isn't
like a movie, it is like a presentation.
Right and if all you want is flip chart type stuff then sure output to
SWF is fine, but if you are looking for a bit more (custom animations
for instance) then what I do is use a screen capture utility to generate
the video file.
Then I take the raw input into video editors, with not too much effort
you can get some decent results.
Also before you ask - if you are using Windows, I have no idea what
tools to use - if Linux, ask away.

Thanks Jay/Tom,
The only video format available is the Flash format and I tried that a number of times but
for some reason nothing I have installed (even Flash Player itself) could open or play the
generated files.

Hi :)
Sorry for the very slow response! I thought that
File - "Save As..."
could save in a wide variety of movie formats?

I have just spent quite a bit of time making a slide show in Impress and what
I want to do is to write the presentation to a DVD that can be played on a
standard DVD player. Is there any way that I can output in some video
format? I would appreciate any assistance in this matter as I would rather
not have to start over in some other package.
Thanks in advance
Rod
