I've done something simular before. I often housesit
for a friend with a IMAC. If I want to take advantage
of his cable modem to down load files for later use on
my computer I have to burn them to CD in hybrid
format.
It works fine.
My problem with PDS is that the appearence of the
files depends on the screen size and resolution of the
end user. What looked just fine on your 40inch screen
may be compleatly illegaible on anothers laptop LCD.
Sometimes to get decent resolution you have to blow it
up and pan, which doesn't work very well during a
talk.
