How do I embed a song into a powerpoint slide show?

[Guest]

How do I embed a song into a power point slide show? I want to burn a PPS
onto a DVD so I can play it on my TV

 

[Guest]

To embed the song

Make sure its a wav or convert it to one

Change the setting in tools > options > general > "link sounds with file
size greater than" to 50000

Making a DVD to play on the TV is not so easy!

Only wav can be embedded. For non-wav format, you will need to convert them
into wav to be embedded into PowerPoint.
Check this out on embedding:

For playing on TV, you will need to record your presentation using programs
such as Camtasia.

Then, convert the movie to MPEG2 file, which is needed for a
video DVD.

Next, import the video into a DVD authoring program to create
the DVD menu and setup.

Lastly, burn into the DVD-R/RW.

A number of tutorials can be found here. Check this out:

I need to know if I will be able to do this before I try to use the
"conversion software" that I just downloaded for free from CNET. I think the
songs are already a wav file.

John is right - it's not easy. This might help:

record your presentation as a movie. Try http://www.techsmith.com

convert the movie to an MPEG2 file

import the video into a DVD authoring program tocreate
the DVD menu and setup.

burn the DVD.

Check the file extension to see if it is .wav
If it is a wav, you can embed it.
Follow what John said on changing the setting, then re-insert your wav file.

Have you tried CDex?
Check out how to convert Mp3 to Wav here, under "Quick Fix for MP3 Sounds".
