How do I transfer a presentation to run on a TV/DVD?

You can record your presentation using programs such as Camtasia.

Then, convert the movie to MPEG2 file, which is needed for a
video DVD.

Then you import the video into a DVD authoring program to create
the DVD menu and setup.

Lastly, burn into the DVD-R/RW.

A number of tutorials can be found here. Check this out:

Of what I hear, Camtasia is pretty a expensive software.
Since I might need it for a single use, do you think I would get a good
result by using something like MovieMaker2 or www.ppt.to.dvd.com ?
Thank you,

I have used PPT2DVD and got quite good result. It keeps almost the original
in the presentation and allow me to record narration. DVD menu is built
during the conversion which allow you to use the remote control to choose
which presentation to display. You may download a free trial version from
http://www.ppt-to-dvd.com to have a try in body.
 
You can try also Camstudio which is free

DVD?
 
If your presentation is very simple, you can save slides as images and make
a movie using Windows Movie maker.

If your presentation has heavy animations,embedded audios and videos, you
can check out PowerVideoMaker at:

PowerVideoMaker converts ppt to video of WMV,AVI or MPEG format ,then you
can use your DVD authoring software to burn it onto DVD.

There is a free way for you to do this:
Export your powerpoint slides to JPEG images, then use windows movie maker
to make a video, and then burn the video to DVD.
But in this way all the animations and transitions in your presentation will
be lost.

So far the best way i know is to convert your PowerPoint presentation to
MPEG-2 video format first, then burn the video to DVD.
You can have a try at this tool:
http://www.ppt-to-video.com/powerpoint-to-video-overview.html#105
It helps you easily convert your powerpoint presentation to MPEG-2 video
format. All things in the original PowerPoint will be retained.

If you still want to create DVD menus for your presentation to be viewed on
TV with a remote control.
You can have a try at this tool, a professional PowerPoint to DVD tool.

It can help you burn your PowerPoint directly to DVD.

You can get the free version of them through:

Hope it can help
