Thanks to everyone for your posts,

As I wanna turn this around quickly, and there are actually 165 end clients (the people who attended the conference), I think I’m gonna side-step FCP and DVDSP on this occasion. I’ll try a version of what John suggested : Use Keynote to add the soundtrack to the presentations, save them as PP shows, then output to 9 separate files on a CD-ROM, including Powerpoint viewer on the final CD.

Thanks again,

Thanks Alex,

But I should have explained it better. Sometimes I film these presentations, then edit them with the slide as the main graphic, the presenter picture-in-picture, and the audio running too.

On this occasion however, I have been given the 9 presentations (about 45 minutes each), and an audio recording of each presentation. I have to cut the slides to the audio. They’re a mixture of text slides and medical graphics. The client wants people who attended the conference to have an audio-visual record of each talk, on one disc.

I’ve started to edit them in FCP, (exported the slides from Keynote), slides changing with the relevant audio, but from experience when I output them to mpeg-2 they will not fit on a single layer disc.
Dual layer discs are scary in the sense that I made one once and sat there while the client tried to play it in 5 separate DVD players. It played in 2 of them.
