Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 pro 64 bit system.

A Chinese company from Shenzen with address and phone. Digitally signed Shenzen Moyea Software
"1. Who are we?
Leawo software established in 2007, is a professional multimedia solution provider, mainly specializes in processing and broadcasting media over the Internet as well as in the daily life."

The program is available for $79.95. Hmmm, 80 dollars for a one year licence?, 240 dollars, if you will use this over three years? Interesting price, which I normally do not comment.

Upon start a blueish, non resizable interface opens. Under the uncommon help symbol you can switch the language between Russian, German, English and Chinese.

In the options you define the output mode (remember PAL or NTSC!), define a video file, standard DVD or BlueRay more options like codec under advanced. Microsoft Powerpoint must be installed, because it invoke this software for importing and ploaying - don't see this as a prerequisite.

During creation a BlueRay disk file, my Microsoft Powerpoint program crashed.
The Leawo program comes back with the information to contact the service team:

A second attempt crashed in the same way. Microsoft Powerpoint 2013 on my Computer works of course without problems:

What the software does in the background (IMO). It plays the powerpoint file with the installed Microsoft program, captures the screen output and the sound, makes en DVD entry via an authoring tool, plays the next slide and burns this via StarBurn.

Useful for people, who want to present a Powerpoint file without a computer on a TV with a DVD player.

Uninstalled via reboot, does not work as expected...

Have a good start into this new week!

Very steep price for a program with limited functionality indeed, though the lifetime license is $119,95.
For professional use most people would connect a beamer with a laptop I suppose.
There are advantages in "Leawo Powerpoint to dvd pro" (batch mode) but a seperate dvd converter could suffice for once in a while use: You can export to video in newer versions of Powerpoint 2010 and higher: https://support.office.com/en-za/article/Burn-your-presentation-to-a-DVD-79a39404-39f3-4e4f-bede-24b3abd6b387
You need a dvd/blue-ray authoring tool in other OS's other than Windows 7 but the DVD/Blu ray creators are cheaper, even the lifetime versions. Possibly you allready have a previous giveaway that does the job and does work.

Does this program do anything that isn't already done by commonly-used software? Powerpoint will save presentations as .wmv files, which can be converted and edited and burned to media of the user's choice. This Leawo program apparently just instructs Powerpoint to save a file as .wmv and then modifies that output file. This program, according to the other reviewers, won't do anything that I can't already do with other software, so I won't clutter up my system with this program.

Thanks for pointing out that PowerPoint can save to wmv: note that this function has only been available since Office 2010. More information is at:
