The advantage of the scan converter is that you get to keep the animation.
With JPEGS you loose all of that unless you recreate it in your NLE.
The advantage of the Jpegs is that some of the time you can
rework the graphics to make them more readable. People making
PowerPoint presentations break every video rule you can think of.
They use fonts that are way too small. They use color combinations
that are often very unforgiving in video, and the run text and graphics
much too close to the edge of the frame.
I find that using PowerPoint presentations are almost as much, if not
more, work than creating the graphics from scratch. The exception
is when you can talk to the presenter before the presentation is created,
and convince them to take these concerns into account when designing
the presentation.
