Keynote to iDVD?
Does Keynote support exporation to iDVD?
I mean, that would be a really good way to present them in a high quality manner. Like, you could use the forward button to go forward through the presentation!
makes sense, no? But, does it happen like that?

Do a search on the Apple Discussion forum for Keynote.
Someone has developed a way of actually doing this...

I was surprised that iDVD really wanted 640x480, I was absolutely certain that it really wanted NTSC resolution (same as a DV file) for best results. Oh well, live and learn.
Test scenario:
I used the Sample Presentation.key keynote file.
Choose File->Export
Select "QuickTime"
Click "Next"
Set Playback Control to "Self-playing movie"
Under Formats choose "Custom"
Set:
Video: Full Size
640x480 pixels
Click "Settings"
Set compression to "Animation"
Set Depth to "Millions of Colors"
Set Quality to "Best"
Set Frames per Second to "29.97"
Click "OK"
Name your file and click "Export"
The video file that results will import absolutely beautifully into iDVD and the resulting image will be fantastic. Just be sure to watch the overscan, under "Advanced" in iDVD, be sure to select "Show TV-Safe area" to see what part of the slide will be visible on a TV. Also watch your font sizes, the small "Tips:" in the upper left-hand corner are a good example of what to look out for. <hr></blockquote>
