Can you save a PP slide show to a DVD to be viewed on a
DVD player?

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just "File>Save to DVD"...until that time

There are a few methods of achieving this powerpoint to dvd....but one such
method that preserves the transitions of powerpoint is explained in this
tutorial

The program in this tutorial works very well at capturing
transitions and animations. At this point it doesn't
record the music but you can use nero to record music to
the avi file that camtasia creates. Costs 400.00
canadian, 350.00 us i think now sale is over. go to their
web site and they have a pretty good forum for powerpoint

Using these products through my timings all off, what
happened?

My suggestion is to use Windows Media Encoder as it simply does a better job
and captures the sounds. However, it is a CPU intensive application. With
that running, PowerPoint running, and the MCI media player running (to play
the music) you are certain to see some timing "drift". A VERY fast machine
does make a difference.
