cd burning win & mac

[andy king]

hi
i'm prepping a powerpoint show for someone on a windows laptop and
want to burn it to cd
as i don't have access to the laptop.
1. can anyone advise me the best standard to burn it to....iso 9660/high
sierra?
2. i would like to save all the info into one folder eg. photos & ppt
file, is this the best way for reducing errors on presentation.
3. i think the laptop will be a pentium. any ideas on processor & ram
for 800 x 600
for photos.

i'm used to working on mac & pc but haven't used powerpoint a lot on the
windows
platform. so any help would be appreciated

thanks

andy king

Andy,

In response to your questions:

#1 - Dunno 'bout that...hopefully someone with more technical expertise will
comment on that...
(I would recommend that the end user copy the show to their hard drive,
rather than trying to run it from the CD, though. You or that person may
need to reset the links, if there are any.)

#2 - Saving all of the info into one folder might be a good idea -
especially if you have objects linked to a specific file. Just make sure
that the proper location is keyed in on all of your links within the final
.PPT file that will be saved to that CD. (sound files, document links,
etc.) As far as your graphics and sound files go, when you import/place
image files like .jpg's, .gif's, and .wav's, those images/sounds become part
of the PowerPoint file. As far as what I have encountered, it is not
necessary to include those files with the show unless the end user needs
access to the original files for their own use/alter the show. Most
definitely include a "Fonts" folder with copies of the fonts you used in the
presentation. (The laptop may or may not have those files loaded, or they
may use a different computer at a later date.)

#3 - Base laptop recommendations, especially if you are using animations or
running audio/video clips:
P233, 64MB RAM....depending on what all you have in that show, anything less
and it may stutter or hang up in the middle of the presentation. I would
highly recommend testing the show on the laptop/re-timing it before letting
the user walk away with it for his/her presentation.
