How do I *EXPORT* Powerpoint to an AVI?

[White Widow]

I was recently asked by my boss to create a basic training video presentation. It would be a snap to make it in Powerpoint, but my boss wants to distribute it on CD-R's as a video file. Short of sending the PP to my TV-Out, recording it on my VCR and then redigitizing the video with a capture card (ugh!), is it even possible to do a direct conversion from within powerpoint or with a 3rd party util? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

Is that a built-in feature, or are you suggesting I do a screen capture for each slide? Also, how could I do basic PP animations with that method? Is there any other way to achieve this?

Thanks,

Maybe Lotus ScreenCam would do the job.

Not very elegant, but TV out to Capture card. Saves some work. Have it record in the background.

Edit: Typo, I can type

I was hoping to find a way of exporting directly to an avi, but going S-Video to capture card direct would be easy enough. I might just convince my boss to put the PP viewer on all the workstations and people can just use the native PP file. Anyway, thanks for the ideas.
