PPT to DVD — Burns presentations to playable DVD-Video discs.
Nine PPT Formats — Imports ppt, pptx, pps, pot and more.
Disc, Folder, ISO — Outputs disc, DVD folder or ISO image.

Xilisoft PowerPoint to DVD turns PowerPoint decks into DVD-Video discs, DVD folders or ISO images that play in any set-top DVD player. Because the slideshow is burned to disc, it runs on machines that do not have Microsoft PowerPoint installed.
No PowerPoint Needed — Plays on any standard DVD player.
Retain Original Media — Keeps embedded video, audio and images.
Auto or Manual — Loop slides or advance them manually.
Voice Narration — Record spoken commentary during a rehearsal.
Ownership Watermarks — Stamp slides with text or picture.
Six Interface Languages — English, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese.
It converts PowerPoint files into DVD-Video discs, DVD folders or ISO images that run in an ordinary set-top DVD player. It accepts nine PowerPoint file types (ppt, pptx, pptm, ppsx, pps, ppsm, potx, potm and pot), so both current and older decks load without a separate conversion step. The burned disc plays back without Microsoft PowerPoint on the target machine, which suits kiosks, waiting-room screens or handing a client a disc that "just plays". You can add background music, a recorded voice narration and a text or picture watermark before writing the disc.
Both editions use the same conversion engine, DVD menu tools and output formats — the difference is the license, not the feature list. The Personal edition carries a single-user license valid for private, non-commercial use only. The Business edition grants a commercial license and may be installed on up to five computers, which is what training departments, agencies and presenters need when discs are used in a workplace or shipped to clients. If any finished DVD will be shown or distributed commercially, the Business edition is the correct choice.

On input it reads nine PowerPoint formats — ppt, pptx, pptm, ppsx, pps, ppsm, potx, potm and pot — covering both modern and legacy decks. On output it writes a DVD-Video disc, a DVD folder on your hard drive, or an ISO image for later burning. Recordable disc support includes DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, the dual-layer DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL, plus DVD-5 and DVD-9 capacities. Before writing, you can set the TV standard (PAL or NTSC), the aspect ratio and the video quality so the disc matches the player it will run on.
Yes. It can retain the original video, audio and picture elements embedded in the slides instead of flattening the deck to still images. You can attach one background music track for the whole presentation or a different track per slide, record a voice narration during a rehearsal pass, and add a text or picture watermark to mark ownership. The DVD menu builder offers template choices, background music and picture, and a skip-menu option so the disc either shows a navigation screen or starts playing straight away. Auto-play can loop with a set per-slide duration, while manual-play lets a presenter pause on any slide and browse in thumbnail or outline view.
No — this product outputs only DVD-Video discs, DVD folders and ISO images, not portable video files. If you need MP4, AVI, WMV or H.264 files for phones, websites or media players, that job belongs to the separate Xilisoft PowerPoint to Video Converter, not to the DVD editions. It is a Windows application (Windows 11 down to XP) with no macOS version, and burning requires a recordable DVD drive. Choose this product when the deliverable is a physical disc or an ISO for a set-top player; choose the video converter when you need a file that plays anywhere.
