A popular program for that job is Camtasia Studio 6.1 from TechSmith.
Do the following:

Download and install Camtasia Studio on your local computer.

Open the program, and select Record PowerPoint in the Task List. MS
PowerPoint prompts up. Open the PowerPoint presentation to record. Set
the recording options from

the PowerPoint Add-in Toolbar. Then click the red Record button to
enter the presentation. Click the “Click to begin recording” button.
When finish recording, specify

a name and location and save as *.camrec file.

II. Adobe Captivate 4

Another video capturing application is Adobe Captivate 4.

Download and install Adobe Captive 4 on your computer. Open the
program, in the main interface, click From MS PowerPoint in the Create
Project tab to select a

PowerPoint file to convert.

3. Microsoft Related – Windows Movie Maker, Photo Story 3 and Save As
MOV in Mac PowerPoint

Microsoft provides some supplements that can aid in making a
PowerPoint video.

Windows Movie Maker is free for Windows XP or Vista users. It lets you
create a home movie out of texts and images.

To make a video from PowerPoint, you need to save all the slides in
your presentation as like *.jpg or *.png. Go to Office (in PowerPoint
2007) or File (in PowerPoint

97-2003)-> Save As -> Other Formats, in the popup Save As box, select
the type to either of the above graphical formats. Then choose to
export every slide as the

specified picture format.

A folder containing the exported slides with the same name of the
original presentation is generated. Open Windows Movie Maker, and
import the separate slides to

collections one by one. After that, drag all the imported slide images
and drop to Storyboard. If you wish, right click a slide image to add
video effects for it.

Finally, go back to the File menu, and save the slide collection as
mosvie file.
