I have produced a great many programs where I took the
presener's PPT file and exported each slide as JPEG.
Then you can drop the JPEG file into the timeline of your
video editing application at the point where they should
appear. It could hardly be easier.
Note Mr. Jandro's warning, however that many PPT slides
use fonts that are too small for viewing on standard-definition
TV.
Also watch out for slides that have text anywhere in the 10%
edges of the picture (i.e. outside the "safe title area").
