I find that the quality of SWF image rendering out of OpenOffice Impress is really horrible on Win64. (See details below) Impress Export SWF on MacOS-X, albeit a bit stiff, looks great, but... It still doesn't match the OS-X implementation of MS PowerPoint Save As... Quicktime Movie. Impress Export SWF does not render slide transitions or playback of movies which have been inserted into Impress.

I am not an expert in Quicktime, but I think that the Quicktime API includes many of the transition effects defined in MS Powerpoint. In effect, Apple iMovie HD is only a front-end editor to the Quicktime API. Quicktime, itself renders the media composition effects. (iMovie/iDVD do the final rendering to streaming DV for your DVD player.)

It would be nice to hook the Quicktime API into OpenOffice Impress. It might not be much more difficult than passing OpenOffice document object pieces to the Quicktime using Quicktime's own media composing API.

VNC seems like a lot of operating overhead to me.

You can export as a Macromedia Flash (.swf).

File|Export
 - File format: Macromedia Flash (SWF) (.swf)

Not sure if/how that would work on a DVD, but you might want to explore
further.
