Convert different presentations to DVD

[woods]

Now, I have lots of my favourite resources such as flash, powerpoint files and pictures, all of these from my heart I want to make a gift to my best friend, but she doesn't like computer at all, and even can't use it, she is just so naive, I just don't know how can I present all of these viewable to her? Because she like TV so much, I think it would be better if I can burn all the presentations onto a DVD, then she can view them on regular TV set. But, can those presentations be burnt to DVD format and also play normally?
Need ur help, and TIA.

convert everything to mpeg and author the images as a slideshow.

with for example dvd-lab, it has a built-in slideshow creator.

While the answer isn't an emphatic no, it can't be done without a lot of work. There are a variety of tools available that claim to convert powerpoint or flash to avi. I have yet to find one that

a. does all of them
b. works where there is interaction required - I have not seen anything that could take an interactive flash presentation and change it to a DVD, preserving functionality within the DVD menus.
c. Produces good results every time

assuming you could find the correct programs to convert each these, you would then have to produce a series of clips (one for each presentation), edit them together, encode as DVD compliant, and build a DVD. You could add an extra folder in the root of the disk to hold the original versions of each presentation so others with more PC skills could access them.

So yes, with a lot of work you could get them into a format viewable on a TV. With even more work you might be able to recreate some of the interactivity of the originals. It would probably be quicker to teach your friend the basics of owning a PC though.

Hello,
If you wanted the realtime approach you could (if you have a tv output) copy them to video tape. Just hook up the computer to a vcr and play your presentations at full screen (then record on vcr-have the sound card attached for sound presentations). You won't have fancy menus but if you want to keep it simple that would be a way to do it.

i have a question about powerpoint2dvd. i have been using a screen capture program (snagit) to convert a self timed powerpoint to avi but sometimes the results for the animations are a little pixelated. how close does the result of powerpoint2dvd resemble the original presentation? also, the website mentions something called mini dvd. is that just another term for vcd?

thanks a bunch.

Hello,
Minidvd is a vob on a cdr (dvd video on cd). It has limited compatibility and it has less storage capacity then vcd for a cdr.
