I have never heard of this being done, but apparently there is software to do this.
Take a look at the following links:

or

Ok, I've got the song looping, and downloaded the Powerpoint DVD maker, but the problem I am having now, (since it's a trial only freeware I only have two shots at making it work) Is the song playing in the background of the DVD, If I burn it the way it is, the song won't be playing, when I put the song on it, I just get another "chapter" any ideas?!

Click Sound from File, locate the folder that contains the file, and then double-click the file you want.
Insert a sound clip from Clip Organizer

Click Sound from Clip Organizer, scroll to find the clip you want, and click it to add it to the slide.
Note To do a search for clips in Clip Organizer, fill in the Search for: box and click Go. To get more information about finding the clip you want, click Tips for finding clips at the bottom of the task pane; it gives details on finding files using wildcards and adding your own clips to the Clip Organizer.

When a message is displayed, do one of the following:

On the Effect tab, under Stop playing, do one of the following:

To stop the sound file after this slide, click After current slide.
To keep the sound file playing for several slides, click After, and then set the total number of slides the file should play on.

If you can create the presentation, and add the sound to the presentation, then export it as a self running presentation, then burn it to DVD, does that fit the bill?

Ok, the presentation is complete, it works fine and dandy on the computer, but since the sound is located outside of the "powerpoint presentation" and it is locating it as a seperate file, burning them seperate won't work. I need to figure out how to save the song/imbed it into the presentation.

Please help! I'm in a bit of a rush now. Thanks
