dvdshrink has worked perfectly for me for years.  You jsut need to have the software that came with your dvd burner to actually put it onto a disk - dvd shrink will convert the files and save them on to your hard drive (unless you have nero, then it will burn it automagically)

More and more people are asking how to burn their Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 presentations to DVD, for two very obvious reasons:\n\nPowerPoint is an extremely easy multimedia authoring tool to use. PowerPoint is also widely available, and you don't have to be a genius to use it. \nDVDs have become very cost effective to create, and DVD players are widely available. And playing DVDs doesn't require a computer. \n\nUsing PowerPoint and a DVD, you have an easy method of getting your message out, whether as a training video or a digital business card promoting your products or services. And your audience can view your material at home as well as in their offices.\n\nA common method of committing a PowerPoint presentation to DVD involves making a video recording of the complete presentation in real time, saving the recorded presentation as a video file, and finally transferring that video file onto a DVD. Third-party software is required to record the presentation.\n\nThis article presents an alternative method, in which you convert your PowerPoint presentation into a storyboard of slides that can, in turn, be used to create a video file that can be burned to a DVD. A storyboard is a series of slide images that works rather like one of those cartoon flipbooks. A stack of pictures are bound so that the images can be riffled through with the thumb, causing the illusion of a moving picture.\n\nStoryboarding your presentation is an entirely different process from capturing a presentation that is running on a screen. The end result can be spectacular, but it is not as fully automated as the recording of a live presentation.\n\nBefore you start\nTo create video files, you need one of the following:\n\nPhoto slideshow software  \nPhoto slideshow software makes it possible to create slideshows from your digital photos. Some programs allow you to add special effects, soundtracks, voice narration, titles, and captions to your shows.\n\nThere are many photo slideshow applications available at little or no cost on the Internet, and most digital cameras come with software that lets you create digital video shows from your photos. Photo Story 3 software for Windows XP is available free from Microsoft.\n\nVideo editing software  \nVideo editing software is used to cut and arrange, and also to add effects to, digital video content.\n\nAgain, there is a wide variety of programs available, many of them for free or near free; and most DVD burners come with software that allows you to edit your video footage. Movie Maker software for Windows XP is available free from Microsoft.\n\n\nTo burn your video files to DVD discs, you also need:\n\nA DVD burner   This is the hardware in which the physical DVD disc is formatted. \nDVD burning software   Most DVD burners arrive complete with the software that you need to burn DVDs. Make sure that your software has the ability to convert the format of your video to one that can be played on a conventional television DVD player.\nNote  Many photo slideshow and video editing software packages also provide the ability to burn video to a DVD disc, or will at least export video to be burned to a DVD. One such program available for purchase is Sonic DVD for Photo Story 3.\n\n\nIf you plan to play your DVD on televisions, Part I\n\nThe quality (or resolution) of most TV screens is not as good as that of most computer monitors. If you plan to play your DVD on a television screen, Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Taj Simmons offers the following suggestions:\n\nAvoid putting information too close to the edges of your slides. (Information placed too close to the edge may be cut off when viewed on a TV.) \nAvoid very small text. A lot depends on the quality of the TV and how far back the TV will be viewed from. \nAim for no smaller than 30-point font sizes. \nAvoid very thin lines. Aim for at least 3-point line sizes. \nAvoid colors that look bad on TV. (Red is notorious for this.) \nAvoid very narrow, pale, thin, and

If you want a program that "just works" with the click of a button, I would look to DVD95Copy. The more techie bunch of us use a combination of tools such as DVD Shrink, etc. but if you are looking for a non-technical solution, I would try theirs.

The one thing you need to check in is a data CD-R, or DATA DVD-R. DVD-R will give you better buring options and increase the clarity of your pictures once transfered from your computer to a cd. Also another good source of storing media (any type) would be an external drive or flash drive. A flash drive is compact, light weight, and easy to use. Check your local wal-mart to find and of these items.

All slide scanners on the market requires you to put the the slides into their special holders, as they are essentially high-res flatbed scanners. \n\nAs Corbis, the largest picture archive in the world, use this type of scanners to convert their slides, I guess you'll have to as well.

There are a wack of programs that will do this for you.  The new Nero 7 Ultra, DVDSanta, DVD Recode are among a few.  These work flawless and I use them almost every day converting clients stuff.

Use the freeware version of DVD-Rebuilder, and DVDFab Decrypter. If you're going to be backing up a lot of DVD's then I strongly suggest that you invest in the Pro version of DVD-Rebuilder. It IS the BEST way to backup your DVDs. Another good investment would be AnyDVD.
