Hi Sri567,

Electric Rain announced that they released a multimedia software which can achieve your goal.

• Convert a PowerPoint 2007 presentation into XAML Slides and Shapes that works on Microsoft’s Windows Presentation Foundation 3.5 and Silverlight 2.0 clients.
• Convert Shapes into XAML equivalents for images, text, and drawings as PNG’s. Also supports videos to videos, and PowerPoint ink to WPF / Silverlight static ink.  All other shape types can be converted to image equivalents.
• Support for PPTX or PPT file format conversions (must have PowerPoint 2007 installed).
• Renders all effects to PNG while preserving very accurate layout information.
• Supports most common set of “wipe” animations for shapes, aka custom animations (i.e. scale, rotate, motion paths) of the priority animations.
• Renders a custom build animation within a slide (i.e. render a specific diagram animation within a slide in XAML).
• Ability to render text as PNG for best fidelity retention (next version will include a full vector text implementation).
• Remove/Re-add specific shapes/backgrounds from slides before final conversion.
• Export slides to Visual Studio solution file (SLN) for further editing, or asset re-use in Microsoft Blend or other XAML editors / players.
• “One-click” import all button that will convert all slides to XAML files (WPF or Silverlight).
• Pick and choose specific slides for conversion through a visual interface sample app.
• On demand and individual slide conversion.
• Supports fade animations, visibility toggles, scale, move, rotate and motion path build animations.
• Supports fade slide transitions as default.
• Preview animations before exporting via the player code used within the sample app provided.
• PPTX overlay allows user to see how accurate the conversion is compared to a picture of the original slide.

• Render and retain layout animation transitions.
• Set target output resolution.
• Written completely in C# code and is a 100% .NET 3.5 managed application / code.
• License is available as compiled libraries or source code. Includes sample standalone converter application and previewer.
