Can I package a PP presentation for DVD

[Guest]

I have a Power Point presentation (Vers SP2) which is a file of about 1.9Gb.
It appears too large for packaging to a CD, is there some way I can package
it to a DVD?

Hi,

If you format your DVD for CD Rom and not DVD movie format, yes. It will
work and hold a larger presentation. But remember that the target computer
will need a DVD player.

Please tell us your PowerPoint / Windows version,
whether you are using vba, whether
your cows are in the corn paddock, or
anything else relevant.

In theory, you use Package to CD but send the results to a folder instead of
directly to the CD, then use your CD/DVD burning software to burn the contents
of the folder to the root of the DVD.

But out of curiosity, what have you been FEEDING that thing? ;-)

It might be worth having a look here:

Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it?

evanf,
There are many third-party applications available to convert PowerPoint to
DVD.Since your material is so large, I recommend you to choose PPT2DVD, it's
a total solution for burning PowerPoint presentation on DVD. But you must
note that the larger the file is, the more time it takes! So it will take you
quite sometime to complete your work. And make sure there is enough space
left for the conversion.

please let me know how it works for you.
