The other hitch you need to know about (I learned this from experience) is the speed at which you'll be running the presentation.
The company I was working for needed to do a presentation on CD from a laptop. One of my tasks was to prepare the CGI movie of the building. The project manager wanted a very high resolution movie to show the detail. We had previously presented one and it was too small to be of use. I tired to warn him and have him load the movie onto the hard drive, and run it.
He had other ideas.
The morning after the presentation, I was dragged into the owners office and the PM went up one side and down the other because the movie didn't play. The resolution and frame rate were much to high for the CD to process. Which gave the PM a case of stage fright and embarrased him quite badly. Thus blowing the presentation.
So after the PM got done with me, and the owner of the firm got wound up, I asked if the PM had heeded my warning. The owner proceeded to change directions and chew the PM for not listening to the people that support him.
Keep in mind, that any video or music running from the CD will not run at a decent resolution.
I've done many presentations and movie from a CD.
What's even a step up from that, is if you code it to html and it'll run anywhere. If done right, you can really take the PPT a full step further with added content.
Oh and double check your spelling when you get the presentation done.
experience....
Good luck,
