Having a PowerPoint slideshow makes it easier for us to do presentations, preserve precious memories and share our thoughts. The most common way to present a PowerPoint presentation file is to play the slideshow frame by frame. However, sometimes importing the slideshow to a media player like QuickTime would give you a totally different experience and easier control over the presenting process. To import a slideshow file in PPS format to QuickTime, you have to first convert the PPS file to a video file, and then import the video file to QuickTime. It may sound a little complicated, but as long as you have a decent program to do the conversion job, importing PPS to QuickTime is nothing hard at all.
