David,
Do you just want to copy the ppt file to a blank DVD?
Or do you want to play the presentation on a home DVD player?
If it's the latter...then have a read of this tutorial on one way of putting
powerpoint on to a dvd that will play on a home dvd player

I am interested in why you want your powerpoint
presentation; as you say: converted.
In our company we would never convert a PPt to DVD, but
instead make a presentation in a DVD programme. We often
use an existing PPt file to import the text directly into
the application so its quick n easy, but to convert - no!
The cost of buying a DVD application is so small to
purchase compared to the high cost of PPt.
Also converting, to us, results in a usless presentation,
ie, you cant control the play back as you can with PPt and
the visual quality is so degraded it is unacceptable to
clients.
Or have we missed a fundemental trick here for years?
I look forward to your ideas

Hello David,
PowerPoint does not have the built-in ability to save presentations as
video files or other video formats such as DVD-Video and, even if it did,
there would be significant loss of interactivity (because DVD-Video and
PowerPoint slide show have very different capabilities in this area) and
loss of visual fidelity (DVD-Video resolution is less than typical computer
display resolution and most television will not render colors the same way
that a computer display will).
Although there have been some requests, made directly to Microsoft, for the
ability to export PowerPoint presentations to DVD, it's not always clear,
from the suggestion submissions, which of the DVD formats are desired; what
"problem" does saving as DVD solve for each customer; and, given the
limitations of DVD-Video (and other movie formats) when compared to the
fidelity of a native PowerPoint slide show, what slide show
capabilities/quality customers are willing to give up in order to get the
perceived benefits of DVD output.
So, if the ability save presentations to DVD-Video (even with unavoidable
loss of some interactivity capabilities), directly from within PowerPoint,
is important to you (or anyone else reading this message), or if there are
specific features of PowerPoint slide show distribution that you would like
to see (which might eliminate the need to save presentations as DVD-Video),
don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft
at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.
IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
