When I run blow code:
/*** PPT to Image conversion ***/
$ppt_file = 'E:\wamp\www\temp/a.pptx';
$app = new COM("PowerPoint.application") or die("Unable to instantiate PowerPoint");
$app->Visible = true;
$app->Presentations->Open($ppt_file);
$app->Presentations[1]->SaveAs("E:/tmp/outdir",18);
$app->Presentations[1]->Close();
$app->Quit();
$app = null;
It gives me one exception :
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Source: Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007
Description: PowerPoint could not open the file.' in E:\wamp\www\temp\video_conversion.php:107 Stack trace: #0 E:\wamp\www\temp\video_conversion.php(107): variant->Open('E:\wamp\www\tem...') #1 {main} thrown in E:\wamp\www\temp\video_conversion.php on line 107
I am unable to figure out what is the problem.

This is kind of issue is due to the following factors.

Within your error, you see the following message: PowerPoint could not open the file.' in E:\wamp\www\temp\video_conversion.php:107
Does the PHP user have permissions to the file E:\wamp\www\temp/a.pptx?
Try correcting your slashes: E:\wamp\www\temp\a.pptx as / normally refers to an option or argument.
At the end of the day, it appears to be a permissions error, a location issue or alike which is preventing access to that file. Can you open the file with fopen or file_get_contents?

Try this with com class:
COM class Reference: - http://us2.php.net/manual/en/class.com.php
<html>
<head>
<title>ShotDev.Com Tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
$ppApp = new COM("PowerPoint.Application");
$ppApp->Visible = True;
$strPath = realpath(basename(getenv($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"]))); // C:/AppServ/www/myphp
$ppName = "MySlides.ppt";
$FileName = "MyPP";
//*** Open Document ***//
$ppApp->Presentations->Open(realpath($ppName));
//*** Save Document ***//
$ppApp->ActivePresentation->SaveAs($strPath."/".$FileName,17); //'*** 18=PNG, 19=BMP **'
//$ppApp->ActivePresentation->SaveAs(realpath($FileName),17);
$ppApp->Quit;
$ppApp = null;
?>
PowerPoint Created to Folder <b><?=$FileName?></b>
</body>
</html>
Or try this :
$powerpnt = new COM("powerpoint.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Powerpoint");
$presentation = $powerpnt->Presentations->Open(realpath($file), false, false, false) or die("Unable to open presentation");
foreach($presentation->Slides as $slide)
{
$slideName = "Slide_" . $slide->SlideNumber;
$exportFolder = realpath($uploadsFolder);
$slide->Export($exportFolder."\\".$slideName.".jpg", "jpg", "600", "400");
}
$powerpnt->quit();
