I am creating a powerpoint slide presentation from a Disney vacation with
sound. How do I save this so that I am able to view it as a DVD?

Let me preface this by saying, "I've never tried this".

You can save the presentation as a Quicktime movie. Take this movie and
import into iMovie--do whatever editing you want. Then use iDVD and make
whatever startmenu that you want and burn to DVD.

There might be a quicker and/or better solution, but I think this will get
the job done (assuming you have iLife on your computer). If not, I'm not
much help.

Mark's suggestion should work. However, if your presentation includes lots
of special animations, transitions, and media, it's possible that the
QuickTime movie won't be exactly like the presentation. In that case, to
get a perfect copy, try using Snapz Pro to capture the video. You can then
put that on a DVD.

Hi kristin,

Mmmmmmark has a good suggestion with Save As Movie. His way will give
the best reproduction. There is a very good help topic "About PowerPoint
Movies" in PowerPoint's help. Be sure to read it.

If your DVD player is fairly recent (last year or so) it probably has a
built-in feature that lets you play a CD of jpegs as a slide show.

Use PowerPoint's Save As JPEG feature to turn your slide show into a
folder full of JPEGS. Burn the folder to a CD, pop it into your DVD
player and it will probably play the whole thing as a slide show. It
will not save transitions, animations, movies, or special effects, but
it is a quick way to get your PowerPoint onto a TV and it's a quick,
easy way to distribute discs to family and friends.
