I’m a big fan of TV shows like Fringe, CSI , Grey’s Anatomy etc etc, but as i’m a non US resident the latest aired episodes of my favourite shows take quite a while to show up in our country’s TV networks. One can always download these latest aired shows from torrents but its illegal in most cases. Besides online TV sites haven’t taken of that well apart from Hulu but as you would know if you aren’t a US resident, Hulu videos won’t get displayed due to licensing and other stupid bureaucratic red taping!

Sometimes Powerpoint files are better off being converted into video formats due to its high portability and its easier when you want to present it without you messing around with keyboars/remotes. Here’s how you convert them to video formats.
Leawo Powerpoint To Video Converter is one handy tool when you want to convert files of PPT, PPTX, PPS and PPSX to video format like ASF, WMV, 3GP or 3G2.
When tested there wasn’t much difference in quality transitions. In fact, everything was the same except the fact that it was a video and played on a video player. It also lets you select the video/audio quality after conversion.
