automatically convert powerpoint to swf on server?

Question

Hi, i got a question concerning Flash Media Server 2.

I am using the videoconferencing example with an embeddet
flash-presentation. It's the exaple where a speaker can talk via
video/audio to multiple listeners while simultaniously sliding
through a Flash-Presentation. The speaker can also accept questions
from the listerners (the video questions don't work somehow, only
chat).
Anyway, to use this, the user must previously convert a
powerpoint presentation into Flash format.

First question: Is it possible to make the conversion on the
server somehow? Maybe FMS2 has some functionality i don't know of.

Second question: Is it somehow possible to convert recorded
streams into video podcasts and make them avaiable for users to
download?

Greetings,

Frank

First question: Is it possible to make the conversion on theserver somehow? Maybe FMS2 has some functionality i don't knowof.There are lots of ways to do it, all will require someprogramming knowlege. There's a good discussion about it here:http://flashcomguru.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1557&KW=pptSecond question: Is it somehow possible to convert recordedstreams into video podcasts and make them avaiable for users todownload?This is a little tricky, as live audio published to FMS fromthe Flashplayer is encoded with a proprietary codec (NellymoserAsao), that isn't really accessible to us without spending an armand a leg. Discussion about it here:http://flashcomguru.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1842&PN=1In the end, you can convert your recording to mp3 for yourpodcast, but if you want to automate the process is will be eithervery costly, or very complicated.
