I have a number of large PP prresentations that include animation,
video and music. Does someone know the best way to convert them to a
DVD?
You can not burn ppt to DVD directly.
u should use some third party tools.
How to do it----
Tools:
1. PPT2DVD free trial from http://www.ppt-to-dvd.com/download.php?sid=4
2. a dvd burner
Steps:
1. install PPT2DVD on your computer
2. launch PPT2DVD
3. import your PowerPoint presentation in PPT2DVD
4. select the needed configurations for your presentation
NOTE: pay attention to these features because they affect the final
playing results:
---norm: NTSC PAL
---video aspect: 1:1 4:3 16:9
5. convert your presentation to a video file
6. burn the converted presentation file to a dvd with a dvd burner.
Some important things, make sure the dvd and the dvd player are
compatible.
About the animation and music
This program supports the conversion of most transitions, text
animations, graphics animations in PowerPoint Music can also be well
preserved in sync with the slides.
For better conversion results, it is recommended to add the music
after conversion with the" add background music " fearure in the
program.
Note that ,if your PowerPoint file is too complex,pls choose 'Record
volume' in the advance setting,and do not make other noise sound when
converting,for it would record all your music and sounds playing.
and some tutorial about creating photo slide show with PowerPoint

and some free PowerPoint templates (if you need)

Note that in this way you can get a DVD and you can control it use a
remote control.
There is another way to convert it to video,but can not control by a
remote control.If you want to convert it to AVI or other format
video,you should use Camtasia studio etc..

Hi,
It's interesting how people come up with various solutions to a posted
question.
The solution I offered assumed that Tom wanted to put his presentation onto
a DVD and play it using PowerPoint on computer.
Shenzhenons' solution assumes Tom wants to put his presentation onto a DVD
that can be played by DVD player like a television program. Shenzhenons does
not mention that PPT2DVD generally does not work because PPT2DVD requires
Microsoft Windows, which does not come cheap and does not run without a
special environment.
So let me suggest a solution that doesn't require a different operating
system from the standard one that comes on Macs. These steps should produce
a DVD that plays in a standard television DVD player.
These are the basic steps. You can experiment with the zillions of rich
options along the way, but these steps should get your presentation onto a
playable DVD:
Tools Needed:
PowerPoint, iMovie, iDVD, DVD burner
1. In PowerPoint use the File menu and choose Make Movie
2. Choose a place to put the movie file and click the Save button
3. Open iMovie
4. In iMovie use the File menu and choose Import
5. Locate the movie file you just made and click the Open button
6. Drag the movie clip from the little box in the upper right to the time
line area under the movie's window
7. From the Share menu choose iDVD
8. Click the QuickTime icon and choose Full Quality
9. Click the iDVD icon and click the Share button
10. When iDVD opens keep the existing aspect ratio
11. Click the Media tab and drag the movie to the drop zone
12. Double click Text boxes to edit the text in the boxes
13. Click the Burn button
14. Put disc into DVD player attached to a television set
15. Click Play
PowerPoint's Make Movie feature may substitute certain animations and
transitions. A lot of information is available about PowerPoint's Make Movie
feature by searching on Make Movie in the PowerPoint help search box.
Give it a try!

PowerPointhas a built-in feature on the Save menu. Use SaveAs and
choosePowerPointPackage as the file type.
PowerPointwill create a folder that contains yourpresentationand it
automatically rounds up copies of whatever media you have in
thepresentationand makes proper links to all of it.
When you make your DVD simply copy the entire folder that was made by SaveAs
to the DVD.
This will only work if your copy ofPowerPointhas the current updates.

JIm, again thanks - I have tried that route. I cannot get PP to make
the movie. I use save as and select make movie. It begins to save and
when it is about 2/3 completed it freezes. Very frustrating.
