    I’ve made a DVD from PowerPoint with Wondershare PPT2DVD and play it on TV with a remote control to control the playback.
    Is this tool similar to PPT2DVD?

    @ Wondershare: I’m not sure, I’m not familiar with the PPT2DVD.

    Ok guys, I am about as Geek as it gets. I bought one of these things. It is cool.

    I watch movies and TV (streaming) on my system every night.

    Having a remote really improves the experience and makes it a much more satisfying entertainment center.

    Thanks for the great story.
