What is a simple programme to download Powerpoint to DVD to show on a home TV?
 
Does it not have an export option within powerpoint itself or a save as pdf?
 
Can certainly save as pdf.
 
Isn't he asking for a slideshow for playing on TV via DVD?
 
I think you can download Powerpoint viewer from Microsoft,from memory and its some time since I used it,you burn that to the DVD/CD as well as the Powerpoint presentation and it autoruns the presentation
 
I've got a program called Photo DVD Maker Pro which allows you to save your photos on a dvd and insert wipes/transformations from picture to picture and also lets you put background music onto it too. If you have a printer that can print dvd's you can make some very professional looking discs for people.

If there isn't a custom pices of software available, you could save each slide as a jpg and then use Windows Movie Maker to construct a film from individual stills. Essentially you're creating a very slow stop-motion animation.

You'll need to put transitions back in with WMM as you'll just have fixed slides (no loss, as anything other than a simple fading transition in PP is usually a recipe for Death By PowerPoint).

If you are a hardened DBPP creator, you'll have to forego animated transitions but you could still retain partial reveals by creating more than one still from a slide.
 
Had you considered NOT doing it in PowerPoint, but trying some other software such as ProShow Gold? From what I recollect Powerpoint is not colour-managed so you may get some slight colour shifts when you produce your presentation. ProShow Gold allows you to give your presentation in a number of ways (including DVD) and has more sophisticated and smoother slide changes.
