Yep.  I am getting there.  OpenOffice will export each slide as a jpeg using the export as html.  This also gives me the option of simply setting up the slides on a web server.  All I have to do is generate an audio file for each jpeg then add one line of code in the html file and good to go.

To get the timing right on a mpeg4 video, I am thinking of using AVxCAT to generat a mp4 of each slide which would be the length of the audio file.  Then combine the mp4s into one file using AVxCAT.  That gets around timing the audio to the default specified time for each slide.

I am hopeful.  Now to record the audios, where is that mic that came with OS/2 back in the 90s?
Thanks for the help.  I will continue to update.

I was after, some work (that was a challenge for me) got AVxCAT and ffmpeg 4.0.2 running.  It looks like I have to create an audio file first then attache it to the slideshow.

Problem: Following the directions for AVxCAT I can't get the Validate button on the advanced screen to activate (unshadow).  I may be missing something in the Video stream: dialog box.  But my screen (unlike the screen shot in the help) never shows the slider bars for first frame(s): and last frame(s):.  So maybe something is wrong with my install.

Question:  What software do you suggest to make an audio file?

Working hard,
Mike

With all university classes going all online I would like a suggestion.  Is there any OS/2 software I could use to create a file (?mp4?) that shows slides (OpenOffice) with voice overs?  I want to create a lecture that students can see the figures (molecular biology) and hear me explain the figures.  I want to then upload the file to the university server.

Thanks,
Mike Engle
