Ron,
It would be nice if powerpoint could just do this simply....
File > Save to DVD
But it cannot.
One way is to follow this tutorial
http://www.powerpointbackgrounds.com/powerpoint-to-dvd.htm
There are other ways.... like buying a DVD recorder and the correct graphics card and record the presentation as you
play it.
Cheers

Hello Ron,
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).
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).

TAJ,
Do you know of any good links with details on this process? We have some VHS
tapes we'd like to convert to play in regular DVD players, and the local
company wants one of my arms to do it. A quick search tells me I'm looking
at $350 USD for the hardware and software to do it myself...
