Method 1 Using a professional PowerPoint to video converter like Moyea PowerPoint to Video Converter ( http://www.dvd-ppt-slideshow.com/ppt-to-video/ )
Moyea PowerPoint to Video Converter is a popular program that enables you to capture sound and frames from the PowerPoint presentation and save them to any video format like iPod, WMV, MPEG, FLV, MP4, VOB, 3GP, 3G2, MOV or DV. Compared with other third-party software solutions, it is undoubtedly a perfect choice - with the best output effect yet the most competitive price to give you fun from video making.

Method 2 Creating iPod video from PowerPoint with Screen Recorder
You can also record your presentation using a screen recorder when it plays on your screen. An application like SnagIt will grab your slideshow at approximately 10 frames per second in case that the presentation has no embedded video clips. But if a full motion video is embedded in your slideshow, you need to use a powerful capture app like Camtasia ($299 per copy).
Disadvantages: when using a screen recorder, you have to open your PowerPoint many times, for you can't convert a pile of PowerPoint at a time. Also, you cannot add music or any other effects in during the conversion. Note that this may cause loss of animations, transitions, sound tracks or something else in the source, too.
Compared the two methods above, now you can find Moyea PowerPoint to Video Converter is the better - easy to use yet cost effective and powerful enough to preserve every dynamic element in your PowerPoint.
