Training video that includes slides PPT and demonstration: what works?

Hi all.

I am using Presenter 7 (version 7.0.0) and try to make a series of training sessions for a software product. Each session will be a stand-alone flash or video file.  Each session includes the two slides with comments and reported of the manifestations of the screen.

I tried to create these sessions by integrating videos created by Adobe Captivate Flash (they show the manifestations of the screen) in a presenter file which is then itself released as Flash, but I am running problems along the way. I can usually get the Presenter file to run from Powerpoint, but I often lose the sound in the video (except, curiously, for mouse click sounds - they survive). If I publish the Presenter as a Flash file, the embedded Flash video (the demonstration of the software) is completely eliminated.

The trainer that will record the sessions wants to be manipulated in presenter as much as possible, because of the script window that allows to present (it displays the Notes area of the PowerPoint presentation, which is where the text of the narrative has been typed). But I'm willing to adopt other tools if the presenter will not work.

So my questions are the following:

Presenter will work for this project. and if so, what is the best procedure to follow?

A newer version of the presenter would help?

If you've done the training videos or Flash files that include Powerpoint slides and demonstrations of software screen, what tools have worked for you?

I am grateful for what direction you can provide.

I am writing to report the resolution to my problem.

I first had an upgrade of the presenter (to 7.0.7) and a Captivate update (to 5.5) but never make them work together well without problems in the audio narration.

I decided to try the "Captivate" approach only, and works well.

My procedure is now to record the demo sessions in Captivate (without narration), import the slides required (without narration) and only then record narration and insert subtitles encoded in Captivate. If you're having audio problems when you use the presenter, with a narrative, as a container for Captivate video, I suggest you try my procedure instead.
