Hi wsipx-mike,
We have the same problem and though there is no easy way to
do this, we have established a work-around when we absolutely have
to extract the information. It really only works for simple
presentations. Our method doesn't capture the chat pods, etc.
Sound Recording:
We use a program called Audacity for our sound recording. It
is a fairly robust open source freeware program. One of the
recording options in Audacity is "What U Hear". This causes it to
capture any sound that occurs on your computer. Open Audacity, set
the input to What U Hear, and click Record. Play your Connect
recording. Save the resulting audio file.
Now you need to lay the sound into your slides. You could do
this with Acrobat Presenter plug-in for PowerPoint by importing the
sound, syncing it with your slides and exporting the file.
However, we also use Adobe Captive 3, which I think gives me
more control. Import the PowerPoint slides into Captivate, import
the sound file, and then edit the sound in Captivate by clicking
Start New Slide as the appropriate points. The result is a swf file
that delivers similar content to your Connect Meeting.
If you know that you need to do this before the meeting, you
can have someone write down when the slide changes occur during the
meeting. After importing the slides, set each to the duration noted
during the meeting. Finally, import the sound file and let
Captivate use the current timing and lay the sound over multiple
slides.
