Transferring a Power Point Presentation to DVD

M

MarknPrescott

I have made a presentation that includes music and
narration for a school project. The school only has a
regular DVD player, is it possible to burn the PowerPoint
presentation to a DVD that would play in the school's DVD
player? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Mark,

It would be nice if powerpoint could save to a DVD...but it cannot.

This is one method for putting powerpoint presentations on a DVD to play on
a home dvd player

Pay particularly attention to the notes on the sounds / audio recording

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the built-in ability to save presentations as
video files or other video formats such as DVD-Video.

If the ability save presentations to DVD-Video, directly from within
PowerPoint, is important to you (or anyone else reading this message), or
if there are specific features of PowerPoint slide show that you would like
to see (which might eliminate the need to save presentations as DVD-Video),
don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).

I had purchased the program camtasia and there always
appeared to be something wrong after recorded. I have now
purchase panasonic video recorder and it burns powerpoint
to dvd that way that the presentation was created, only
down fall is that it cost me 800.00, but well worth it.

nola,
Does sound a bit spendy, but interesting. I did a Google search on
"Panasonic Video Recorder" and got hundreds of links. Do you have a more
specific name or model number of the Panasonic Video Recorder you purchased?

Panasonic dvd video recorder dmr-e50 800.00 canadian so
cheaper if us funds. My presentations only have music,
animations and are timed transitions nothing the has to be
interative.

I had also purchased the product dvd x point but music and
transitions where not there so out of three things
purchased, with numerous hours trying to record and burn
the dvd recorder appears to be the best thing out there
for the presentation that doesn't need to be interactive.

Thank you for the information. There is no doubt that copying PPT to DVD is
going to continue to be a hot topic now and in the future. The information
you are all providing is very important in understanding what can and can't
be done or "shouldn't be done". Needless to say, customer expectations are
very important. It isn't really just about copying to DVD, it is about
copying to DVD and ending up with a quality product and it appears that is
where the real challenge lies.
