Viewing PowerPoint Presentation on a TV through DVD player?

Hi, RDS

Look at he http://www.powerpoint-to-dvd.com
The software Powerpoint2DVD can burn your ppt files into DVDs or MiniDVDs,
and you can view them on your TV.
You can see its demo file or download it from that site! Have a good time
!

I am creating a slide show in PowerPoint using scanned in pictures
(photos) and the slide transition will be on a timer. As the slides are
showing and changing I plan on having music playing. I know I can put this
presentation on a CD and play it and view it on a computer. But is there a
way that I can also play it and view it on a DVD player attached to a TV. I
want to give this to someone as a present and I want them to have the option
of viewing it on both the computer and also on their TV through their DVD
player.

If anyone has any input I would appreciate it.

RDS,

It would be nice if you could "File save to DVD" in powerpoint.

For photos, there is this Microsoft Photo Story 3 that you can use. Get it
for free from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
(watch out for wraparound)

For creating DVDs with Photo Story, there is Sonic DVD for Photo Story 3 at

No. As a PPT program it needs the PPT program or Viewer to "see" it. You
would need to convert it to a movie type format for your DVD player to
present it. Even then it depends on your DVD player. Some older ones will
only play commercially "pressed" DVDs and won't play DVDs "burned" on a
computer. Even then the "country code" must be present. I have a Gateway
DVD recorder for my TV. I also have a !GoVideo DVD player. I can record TV
shows on my Gateway but if I then put the DVD in my !GoVideo player it won't
play. I can burn movies on my computer's DVD burner and play it on my
Gateway but it won't play in the
!GoVideo or in my Car's entertainment center DVD player.

We are in the midst of turmoil in DVD recording. There's -R; +R; Blu-Ray;
etc formats all competing and mostly not interchangable. MicroSoft is
pushing a new different format. It reminds my of the old VHS vs Beta
problems for VCRs.

FWIW. I have an adapter to feed my computer's video output both to my
monitor and to a VCR. I have split my audio output both to my computer
speakers and to a VCR. That way I can play a PPT program with audio on my
computer and record it on my VCR. The VCR tape will work with any VCR/TV
setup. If I have no audio as part of the PPT program I can use my computer
microphone to add audio as I play and record the PPT program. Works great.
