How to burn Microsoft Powerpoint onto a DVD disc..

I need to start making a Microsoft Powerpoint (2010) with music but am uncertain how I would burn it onto a disc when finished..

What kind of disc would I need and what format would I need to save it as to avoid losing any data?

The disc and presentation is going to be created on my MacBook Pro, but would need to be playable on a PC.

Hope this isn't a stupid question but i have NO idea - I just got a Mac so I am really new with this...

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Just right click on the Powerpoint file when you're done and select "Burn to Disk..." and follow the instructions.

Powerpoint also allows you to "Save as Movie" and then you can burn that movie to disk.

Title of your post says "How to burn Powerpoint to DVD", so I assume DVD?

You can also use a CD.

Well yes, I just know some are DVD-R, DVD+R, etc. I don't know what those mean or if that even matters....

If purchased the SuperDrive with your Macbook Pro, it supports these formats:

Apple reports that this slot-loading "SuperDrive" (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) has a maxium write speed of "8x DVD-R, DVD+R; 4x DVD-R DL (double layer), DVD+R DL (double layer), DVD-RW, DVD+RW; 24x CD-R; 10x CD-RW" and a maximum read speed of "8x DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-ROM; 6x DVD-ROM (double layer DVD-9), DVD-R DL (double layer), DVD+R DL (double layer), DVD-RW, and DVD+RW; 24x CD".
