How can I show a PP slideshow on TV?

I have a PowerPoint presentation that includes pictures, music, and videos
that was shown at an anniversary gathering. Now I would like to give all the
participants a copy of the presentation, but given that many do not have
computers, i would like them to be able to view the slide show on the
television set. Can this be done and how?

Thank you for responding and directing me to an information source. I am
really very much of a neophyte and it will take me a while to digest what I
have read before I proceed to the next step. I do have a program called DVD
PixPlay which I have used twice to create a slideshow to be shown on TV.
However, I worked directly with the program and inserted only background
music.

The PowerPoint presentation that I would like to convert to DVD format to be
shown on a TV has 137 slides, background music for some of them and 3 video
clips that run from 2 to 4 minutes each. I did not create it, but I foolishly
volunteered to render it usable for all those who do not have a computer and
would prefer to show it to family on a TV (a souvenir album of 40 years of
memories).

I reallly don't want to take save all the pictures on each slide ( I do not
have the source) and then reassemble everything onto a DVD. I have no idea
how to differentiate between the different formats that have been proposed in
the articles I viewed; however, from what I have read, Camtasia seems to be
relatively "easy" to work with and may reduce my anxiety level.

Have you had any feedback on DVD PixPlay?

Thank you for responding.
Is there a slideshow size limit if I use the trial version of the software?

No, there is no size limit.

The only limitation is watermark.

Do you have a graphics house nearby that can make the first DVD for
you?
If not write me and I'll be able to help you out for cost.

It is hard to transform PowerPoint to TV. Though you can put your
pictures, music and videos together to make a slideshow, which has
animated text captions, funny clipart, dazzling transition and motion
effects etc., and transform it to cd, dvd which can be played on TV
and PC. You can download a special program to do it, such as DVD
Slideshow Builder.
It may not be a direct way, but must be a right way.
