I think a better solution in this case is to convert the PowerPoint presentation into a video file and encode that directly into the DVD.

... or make the PP slides into graphics and have these as backgrounds to a series of menus. This way you could control the timing.

If you want to introduce bullet points or similar one at a time, you would need to make a screen print of each slide after adding each new text item or whatever

what software would you use to convert the PP to video?

If the powerpoint presentation is just a series of slides, then use powerpoint and do a "save as..." and select PNG (or JPG) as the destination file type. Each slide will be in its own file.

For video, just put the stills on the Vegas timeline and choose a tasteful transition ...
If you export from PPt, you only get completed Slides - if there were five bullet points, they're all included, so ...

I use Print Screen on the keyboard, then Paste into my paint prog (PaintShopPro) starting with each blank slide then after each bullet point was added.

The Microsoft Producer add-on provides an export (inc. AVI with the codec of your choice) option for video from PowerPoint 2002 or 2003. So as long as you are running these newer incarnations of PPT or Office, you can save time with the original quality using this free download. Sometimes camcorder shooting off an LCD PC can be a good way of incorporating PC graphics into your DVD-Video - but probably not so much for long presentations.
