I would like to make a DVD of a powerpoint presentation to give to family
members. It should be able to play on any standard dvd player. Is this
possible?

You can try this much easier and pratical tool - PowerPoint2DVD
at http://www.powerpoint-to-dvd.com
It can convert your powerpoint presentation to mpeg format files and
then burn it onto DVD or miniDVDs, play it on standard dvd player just
the same as on PC by using your demote control.

Buyer beware:
