MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / December 2007DVD PowerPoint Presentation
With PowerPoint 2003, can I download (burn) a presentation (with hundreds of slides, narration & music) to a DVD and view the presentation on a TV via a DVD player – i.e. not playing the DVD on a computer? Assuming that PowerPoint Viewer accompanies the presentation, does the DVD have to use a computer to be viewed? The Viewer can only be run on a computer - - it's a computer program. If you want to create a DVD for play on a TV, you'll first need to convert your presentation to a video.

I have some 500 photos/scanned documents that I want to include in the presentation, hopefully with some narrative & music background. Might this be too much for this 3-4 step process? I've not made my PPP yet, but having been familiar with PP from office presentations, I've liked it's versatility. Because of the complicated (at least for me) 3 or 4 steps involved, would I be better off using some other program that might (?) allow me to directly prepare a presentation that could be burned onto a DVD & be viewable on a TV via a DVD player? Does such software exist? Roy > The Viewer can only be run on a computer - - it's a computer program.

I would recommend Movie Maker 2, which is free from Microsoft. It is perfect for photo shows. It offers a large selection of transitions and you can add music tracks too. It's also quite easy to learn and to use. The output is a video file that can be burned to a DVD with your CD/DVD burning software. You can find it at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx. It requires Windows XP, Service Pack 2. > WOW, Sonia, that's quite a process!!

What Sonia Said.... but also.... I guess she's busy..... if you have access to a home dvd recorder, and the right cables, and a TV-out socket on your computer....you can record direct to a blank dvd/cd from the computer. A lot of people ask for how to convert powerpoint to a dvd. It ought to be real easy, but unfortunately it's not... maybe one day!

I have the same experience and gotten this response: wvvw.powerpoint-to-dvd.com And recently the newest version is on release. Just have a try and hope it helps. > An Experiment.... > > I have the same experience and gotten this response: > wvvw.powerpoint-to-dvd.com > And recently the newest version is on release.

That *was* TAJ behind the silly TAJ mask.

Here's a recently released app that converts ppt to dvd... www.geovid.com/Presentation_to_Video_Converter/ try this! You can do it with certain software like Acoolsoft PPT2DVD since PowerPoint does not have a native feature to do that. http://www.ppt-to-video.com/powerpoint-to-dvd-overview.html > With PowerPoint 2003, can I download (burn) a presentation (with hundreds of > slides, narration & music) to a DVD and view the presentation on a TV via a > DVD player – i.e. not playing the DVD on a computer?
