I need to embed music from a cd into a powerpoint presentation then copy it all onto a dvd. How do I do this?

Question

The powerpoint is on my computer and I played the cd separately while showing the slide show. Now I need it all merged together so I can give all my family and friends a copy of the pictures and the music that will play automatically when they go to watch it. When I embedded music onto the ppt, it would not play automatically. If I use movie maker I will have to copy all 275 pictures again. Is there some sort of software I can purchase that will make this easy?

The program only puts a shortcut to the music in the program. After you create the presentation, put it and a copy of the music into a folder on your computer, then burn the folder to the CD, but be sure to use the "package for CD" feature.
