If you want to convert PPTX to WMV video, this guide would be right for you. It shows you 2 ways to convert PPTX to WMV video.

Part 1: Export PPTX File to WMV Video within PowerPoint 2010

If you're using PowerPoint 2010 or its later version, you could have noticed that there is a new feature - "Create a video" option in the "Export" tab.
