I tried it, it broke.
Your program locked up my computer. I had to literally pull the plug
because it was locked so badly that I could not even ctl+alt+del. I tried
it again, locked up my system again. On the 5th try, after stripping my
system down to the bones and disabling everything not operation critical, I
got it to make a run without crashing my system. My system is 2 GHz -512
Ram -160 GB, so is not cutting edge, but also not a dog. At the time of my
testing my system was 1) recently defragmented, 2) recently culled of temp
files, 3)virus free, and 4) not connected to the net in order to allow for
5) the virus scanning to be turned off.
I had made a simple 6 slide trial presentation in under 5 minutes. No
video, no sound, just 3 jpg pictures, text, and animations. The Video
Output from your program was poor ... well ... that's far too generous -- it
was horrible. (I admit, I never burned your video output to a DVD, but I
figured, "Why waste a perfectly good DVD disk?") The output to the hdd
could hardly improve enough in the transfer to a DVD to merit the waste of
electricity required to burn it. I think your software managed to capture a
little less than 1 frame per second while the system was manipulating
graphics, perhaps double that while the CPU was not busy. Slow fades didn't
fade, they clunked thru 2 mid stages. Motion animations jumped half a
screen per capture, some were not captured at all. Text animations were cut
short or not captured at all. I would be embarrassed to show the output to
any client of mine, and trust me, they are the forgiving sort.
Do I think users should try your software? Sure, why not. The trial is
free and if they have time, bandwidth to spare, nothing to do for a day or
two, and want an 'adventure'; than I say, "go for it." However, if they are
looking for something that works right now, I don't feel right about
pointing them to something that I feel will waste their time and probably
not fulfill their need.
Don't misunderstand me. Nothing would make me happier than to have a
feature, like you are attempting, become available to PowerPoint users. I
just don't think your product achieves what was attempted.
Are the MVP's picking on you? I don't think so. If I may venture a general
opinion for all the regulars on the NG (both MVP's and non), we do take our
passion for helping others seriously. We try programs so we can see how
well they work, and how they might be used by PowerPoint users. We then
offer our suggestions and recommendations, whenever the topic is brought up
by a real poster to the NG, based on our personal experiences. Keep in mind
that MVP is a honorary title and does not carry any salary; we volunteer do
this because we like to help people.
If anyone has an opinions or experiences that differ from mine, they are
always welcome to post it.
