Yeah, this is a bit of a bodged together process. I have a ‘template’
Powerpoint file that I modify by swapping screen text, images and audio (.pptx
files are actually .zip archives so I can do this using revZip). The audio
files, which are themselves derived from templated scripts using revSpeech in
conjunction with Sound Siphon are created on the Mac. The now personalised PPT
files (potentially 100s of these) then need to be converted to videos for
upload to Vimeo and this has to be done on Windows as these are no PPT to video
utilities on the Mac that preserve the audio. So, it’s all (preferably) done
without ever officially opening the files in PPT on the Windows side (I
definitely need a solution that doesn’t require me to manually handle
individual files). I think I probably have to look at batch processing the
audio files into a Windows friendly format on the Mac side before switching
them into the PPT files.

Any add-on in the merg suite is likely to only use Apple centric formats.
I would let Windows PPT convert the audio, then if playback is suitable on
both platforms, distribute the converted file.
