I created a powerpoint slideshow on my Dell with a backround soundtrack, then
I burnt the presentation on to a CD and opened it on my mac so that I could
convert it to Quicktime for Youtube.
When I pressed "Make Movie" it did some stuff and then in the middle of
writing the movie a notice popped up saying "audio file
("MacHD/Users/Alice...") not found, the movie will be made without backround
soundtrack" but "MacHD/Users/Alice..." wasn't even the file with the mussic
in it. I clicked "OK" and it made the movie, but only the first slide had
music on it.

Can someone tell me what's wrong?

Hi,

A common malady - especially for Windows PowerPoint because it does not have
the Save As PowerPoint Package feature that Mac PowerPoint has.

This page has the cause and a solutiuon:
"Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation"
