Thanks for that Drew,
I will download swfdec flash player and try it. I have made a slideshow in Impress, there’s half a gig of it, it is simply a series of still images in four sections with some music in the background with 10s between slide changes; I want to put the presentation onto a DVD that can be played on a standard DVD player. The presentation is on a machine running Ubuntu 11.10 but I can port it to a Windoze machine if necessary. If I’d thought it was going to be this hard I’d have used some other authoring method. The main stumbling block seems to be the SWF file but I’ll try with your recommendation.

Right and if all you want is flip chart type stuff then sure output to SWF is fine, but if you are looking for a bit more (custom animations for instance) then what I do is use a screen capture utility to generate the video file. Then I take the raw input into video editors, with not too much effort you can get some decent results. Also before you ask - if you are using Windows, I have no idea what tools to use - if Linux, ask away.
