I have to put 13 presentations onto one dvd. I've found software that
appears to let me make a dvd, but I don't think I retain the ability
for the viewer to view the slide presentation by manually clicking
from one slide to the next. It appears my option is to build the
transitions into the file and the viewer watches it like a movie.

Does anyone know a program which will let me put the 13 files onto a
dvd, have a cool menu to open each presentation from, and be able to
click through each presentation at their pace. There isn't an audio
track to the dvd's but some will have video.

File | Package for CD will let you create an autorun CD from your
presentations, and, depending on which version of PPT you're using, it adds
the PPT Viewer to the CD.

In the Package for CD options, you can specify to include other
presentations, but files linked to those presentations (like video) won't be
included.

So what I'd do is Package for CD on one presentation and opt to package to a
folder. Include the Viewer.

Then I'd do the same for all the additional presentations -- putting each in
its own folder. I'd decline to include the Viewer on these.

Then I'd copy the files from each folder for the additional presentations
into the folder for the first presentation.

Finally, burn all the files that are in that one folder onto the CD. Don't
burn the folder itself -- just the folder's contents.

You may need to alter the playlist file to get all the presentations to show
up there, but that shouldn't be difficult. You'd just open playlist.txt in
Notepad and make a list of the presentation names:

Presentation1.ppt
Presentation2.ppt
Presentation3.ppt
Presentation4.ppt

Sorry, just saw in the .answers forum that you're looking for DVD. I didn't
notice that in the subject line here.

If you want to use the DVD on a computer, then you can treat it like a CD,
so the information below pertains. If you want to use the DVD on a TV, then
that's a different story. See http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00156.htm for more
information about that in general.

Your DVD software would provide the menu, but yes, the user would watch it
like a movie and not click through.

Acoolsoft PPT to DVD pro can help you solve this problem.
It has a smart DVD menu editor creates wonderful DVD menus for
