I have been learning the use of PowerPoint 2007 and impressed with the many
capabilities available to create a slideshow. Since I wish to display the
finished product on TV sets, I want to burn the product to a DVD. From what I
have seen/read so far, there are no provisions to do so. Am I missing
something? Or, if not, is there a work-around way to make a DVD with
PowerPoint?
 
Hi Don

You are right, there is nothing within powerpoint itself that will allow you
to save to a format that plays on a DVD player. There are several options for
converting files - which will suit you depends on the presentation.

If you don't need animations, you can save the slides as JPG images. DVD
players normally have a photoshow option to display these. If you need
movement, stick to the article Lucy cited. In that case you will need an
additional program.

An additional tipp: Test your slide design on a TV screen at an early stage.
TVs don't display pure red and small patterns very well, text might get
blurry, etc.

Best regards,

This is a most important, and urgent point. Powerpoints can look great on
computer output and absolutely UNREADABLE very easily on a DVD video.
 
EXPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN VIEWING THE POWERPOINT AT A SCREEN RESOLUTION GREATER THAN DVD (720*480). FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE A SCREEN 1920*1080 AND MY POWERPOINTS LOOK GREAT. MY POWERPOINT EVEN LOOKS GREAT AT 800 BY 600. BUT WHEN I CONVERT IT TO DVD, THE QUALITY OF MY PRESENTATION IS DEGRADED GREATLY. THIS IS BECUASE OF THE LOW QUALITY OF A DVD. WE HAVE BEEN MISLED TO BELEIVING A DVD IS GREAT QUALITY ALL ALONG. DVD IS GREAT QUALITY NEXT TO A ANALOG TV OR THE STANDARD TV DEFINITION OF 10 YEARS AGO (YEAR 2000). YES DVD(20+ YEARS OLD TECHNOLOGY) IS GREAT NEXT TO VHS(30 YEAR TECHNOLOGY) BUT NEXT TO A MONITOR WHICH HAS A 800*600 OR GREATER SCREEN OR A TV WHICH HAS HD OR 1080P HD. DVD QUALITY SUCKS. DVD TECHNOLOGY IS OLD AND ANY COMPUTER WHICH HAS BEEN MADE IN THE LAST 5 YEARS HAS A SCREEN RESOLUTION WHICH IS 2X BETTER THAN DVD TECHNOLOGY.
