 Has someone considered (or tried) writing a decoder for MS Powerpoint
 presentations to be able to render them as video files using FFmpeg?

 Ideally, it would render the slides with any embedded images, audio and
 slide transitions defined in the presentation; if not the actual fancy
 transitions (which I would think would require complex filters), at least
 a basic cross-fade using the timings defined in the presentation. Where
 there are no timings present, a sensible default should be chosen with an
 option to specify timing on the command line.

 I would attempt this myself but what I know of C programming could fit on
 the back of a postage stamp.
