How do I put a PowerPoint Presentation onto a DVD?

Question

Hi,
I need to put a PowerPoint onto a DVD to play at the Office entrance, and have made the presentation, finished and then thought Damn!
So, how do I do it?
Thanks

PS: I'm running PowerPoint 2003 and Windows XP Home

Oh yeah - it needs to be a DVD because it's on the TV at the entrance with a DVD player.

Answer 1

PowerPoint does not have a native feature to do that - but third party applications can do that. Not all of them do it too well - and you'll need a Powerful computer to get better results - luckily many of them have trial versions and you can check if they work for you.
Here I recommend Acoolsoft PPT2DVD

Answer 3

you shouldn't need to do it onto a DVD ...unless it's HUGE it should fit on a CD ... anyway ... Powerpojnt has a feature called "Pack and GO" which will load all you need to play the presentation just about anywhere
