I have roxio creator 9. XP professional op system. A friend sent me a power point presentation 5.5megabytes. I made a CD copy and a DVD copy with the audio (drag to disc). I want to give them out to friends, but they will not play on my dvd player. How do I make copies so that they will play on my DVD player (without the power point)

All you have created are data CDs and DVDS which cannot be played on DVD players. That PP presentation has to be "converted" to video and then burned to DVD using a program such as myDVD. Drag to Disc cannot be used to create video discs and is a very unreliable way to burn data to discs.

BTW, since you state you used Roxio Creator 9 you are in the wrong forum (this is Roxio Creator 2009, 2 version later from EMC 9). I will move your topic to the correct forum

Actually if you used Drag to Disc, it won't even play on other computers (it needs the UDF reader)

Assuming that the Power Point presentation has builds, transitions and/or audio:

You will need to convert that PowerPoint presentation to a video file; EMC will not do that. Here is one application that will do it but there are more. Comment; I have not tried any of these. I use Tech Smith's Camtasia Studio. Both have free trials.

Once you have it in a mpg format, you can then use MyDVD to convert it to play on a DVD.
