--- Comment #11 from Jay Philips <[email protected]> ---
Powerpoint exports to microsoft's proprietary WMV format and LibreOffice should
export to open source formats like mkv, ogv and webm, but in order to do so, it
would have to bundle an encoder along with it.

It would be nice to know if this was already done as a GSoC as thorsten
mentioned in comment 2, else it should be added as a GSoC.

I believe the simplest first approach to solving this problem is to export to
the avi format, which is well documented, using the already built in JPG
encoding found LibreOffice. The video file would not contain audio and simply
store compressed JPG images of the presentation sequence frames, leaving a 5
second gap between slides as videos dont have mouse click functionality.

Storing jpgs in an AVI is quite popular used with digital cameras by setting
the video codec to MJPEG ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_JPEG ). Users
would then be able to convert the video to another format if they choose.

I had recently corresponded with a twitter user who wanted to have this
functionality. https://twitter.com/meneer/status/572894833389527042
