Is it possible for me to burn a Powerpoint Slideshow onto a DVD and play it
in a DVD player?

Do you have a DVD burner on your computer? If so, place a DVD writable into
the drive, and save just as you would on a floppy disk or regular CD. Just
be sure that you are saving onto the right drive.

That is very odd that you say that. Anytime I need to put a presentation on
a DVD that is what I do, and I never have a problem. I have even gone to
business meetings with them. Is there something that I could be doing that
is enabling me to be sucessful or am I just that lucky?

You seem to be lucky. Many DVD players can play a series of picture
files, so if you saved all your slides as JPGs, I could imagine your DVD
player cycling through the pictures, but I have never heard of a regular
DVD player (not attached to a computer) that can play a regular
PowerPoint file. If you know what you are doing, let us know. I learn
something new every day, and I'm hoping this is one of those days.

I suspect that you and David are discussing the differences between
DVD-Video and DVD-ROM. David's talking about DVD-Video, whereas you're
talking DVD-ROM.

Yes, Echo!!!! You must be right. I was referring to a DVD player hooked up to
a TV (no computer), and I think (but don't know) that that is what the
original question was about. Kulakula must be referring to a DVD player
hooked up to a computer (DVD-ROM). If Echo is right, then everybody is right,
and Alicia (the original questioner) can take my advice if she means playing
her presentation with a DVD player on a TV, and she can take KulaKula's
advice if she means playing her presentation with a DVD player on a computer.
Thanks, Echo.

Just burning a PPT presentation onto a DVD won't work. DVD players can't
play PowerPoint files. Check out "Convert presentations to VHS or DVD
video" from the PPT FAQ for some suggestions:

Although DVD can not play PowerPoint files, but you can convert
PowerPoint to the format that can be played on DVD players. You can
google something for "converting powerpoint to dvd", this may help.
