There are a couple of applications that claim to do this, however by all accounts they are limited in how well they do it. Google will find most of them.

If there is animation and other effects you are less likely to get a good outcome from these programs. If they are stills, you are better off taking screenshots and creating a DVD from these.

Your other option is to use a screencam program like FRAPS or similar to record the presentation while it plays back.

I think there's some payware called powerpoint2DVD (funnily enough). However the program's authors seem to like spamming our user guides forum here with "guides" for their products, so I'm loathe to recommend them.

As guns1inger said, google or alternatively setting up the powerpoint presentation to run synchonously and then screen-capping it might be a more viable option.
