If what you want to do is just a data back up, and you don't need to play
your PowerPoint with a DVD player, common burning software is enough and No
matter it is a CD or DVD. DVD disc have more space compare to CD.
If you want to watch PowerPoint on TV with a DVD player,
Here some aspects you need to pay attention to:
PowerPoint does not have the built-in ability to save presentations as
video files or other video formats such as DVD-Video and, even if it did,
there would be significant loss of interactivity (because DVD-Video and
PowerPoint slide show have very different capabilities in this area) and
loss of visual fidelity (DVD-Video resolution is less than typical computer
display resolution and most television will not render colors the same way
that a computer display will).

The only way to do this is to get specific PowerPoint to DVD software. such as

or
http://www.ppt-to-dvd.com

However, it's not a free solution but offer you a free trial, so try it
before you make any cash decision

the other option is to use Windows Movie Maker but you would have to start
from scratch and insert all the pictures onto it. I believe Windows XP and
Windows Vista came with this free software so you probably have it. You click
on Import Media and select the pictures you want (press Ctrl to select
individual pictures). You can then use the Auto Movie button to add credits,
music and transitions to your movie. Then burn it to DVD.

Also there are PowerPoint MVPs professional advices for this issue, check it

Hope this is helpful.
