Lin Evans Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi Iougarou,That is not so easy to do. If you have the original PTE file then it's very easy, but converting an executable format to video as far as I know would require you to play the executable slideshow and use a screen capture program which also captures audio. There are several of these available, but the "quality" of the capture will vary depending on your hardware. If you have a "very" strong computer with lots of RAM and an excellent video card you "may" be able to get a decent AVI capture which could then be converted for your DVD. The probability of success is low.

Conflow Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Lougarou,The following Program may help you and I have used it for the past 2 years with good success.However (as Lin said) the resultant 'quality' will depend on the quality of the Video-System or Video-card installed on your PC/Laptop. The Program also records the soundtrack, synchronous to what you see on your Monitor. (Screenshot and Link below)You can use the 'Free-Trial' of the Program and judge for yourself....Hope it helps !!(It also features an excellent range of Tutorials)Brian (Conflow)Link:http://www.thesilver.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
