I just downloaded it, tried it, and that's what I discovered. Maybe I missed
something, but I don't see a way to create a WMV or any other type of movie
file directly.

Even the HTML file it generated played a blank window with a "skin"
substituted for my imported Powerpoint show. MS Producer seemed to import
the Powerpoint show fine, but it never created any "video" that I could see.

I give it a resounding "F" grade.

It's also a 46.6 Mb download, so if you're on dialup, forget it.
