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?

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.
