Some recent DVD players have USB ports .. which (I gather) means you can for

plug-play on your home theatre/DVD system. Very cool.

So what about future DVD players with advanced chips for direct PPT
recognize/play capability? Is that something forward-thinking companies are
doing now? Or .. is that capability already available?

What about current upper-end DVD players .. do they have enough memory or
flash update capability to be upgraded to do something that advanced?
(detect/parse/convert/play PPT files via your DVD player) ?

Obviously Microsoft would have to license PPT to the DVD manufactures.

Or the free Viewer. <g>

But the DVD manufacturers would have to build a fairly hefty PC into their
systems to handle the demands of high-end shows. I suspect that's the rub.

One other avenue to look down, btw, in your research: Playing back the
presentation on your own PC while you record audio and video output to a DVD
recorder or other video recording device. You'd need either a card with
NTSC/RGB video output or a conversion box.
