I did some work on this recently. Searching the web, I found there are some add-ons for power point. Most sites suggested using screen capture. I use both Mac and Pc. This task was easy to complete using the Mac. As all the need utilites are part of the operating system and I have MS Office for Mac. First I found MS office for Mac has an option to record power point to video. Power point wanted to use an older version of Quicktime. That ended that idea. Next I used screen capture. Set power point to display full screen. Waited for a time when the house was quiet, so I could use the built in mic to capture the sound. Sound can also be captured using a jumper from the speaker to mic jacks. I was very happy with the results. Used Imovie to edit the captured video and Idvd to burn the project to DVD. All this can be done with the right software on a PC. You might be able to set Movie Maker to capture the sound using your external mic or a jumper from speaker to mic jacks.
