I hope I get right.

My grandaughter made a power point presentationon CD , for her school project,with some help from her father.

She took the CD to school. The Teacher ask her if she could get it on a DVD
As the school uses a External DVD player to the TV.

My understanding is that DVD players be they internal/External all can read a CD.
1.So why DVD in lieu of CD?

2. Can a Power Point presentation file be read by a DVD/CD player and played on a TV. There is no software ( PowerPoint) to activate?

3. How would one go about doing a presentation that would be able to be projected from DVD/CD to a TV?

GrandPa is supposed to know! go figure. HELP, Please.
