I am trying to burn a powerpoint presentation to a DVD, and I have researched this online and all I have brought up was costly software. I just need an opinion on what would be the best software to purchase or if there is a free route to go? Thanks!

You could try Windows Movie Maker. You can insert images into a timeline. I did not check whether the effects you made will hold but it is free to play around with.

I was checking in to windows maker, and the other two suggested. What it is a wedding presentation to send to a potential client. So, I just didn't know what other program to make the presentation in. I am still learning a lot about special effects, web publishing and things.

So, thanks and I will let you know how those work out!
