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

Hello,
PowerPoint does not have the built-in ability to save presentations as
video files or other video formats such as DVD-Video (or VCD) 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).
