On the fly" doesn't have to mean in a hurry.
I've run very complex and high-level ProShow videos on computer
projectors...straight from the live preview within the program. It's live
rendering is actually superior to the resolution of DVD video, so it's great
to have a program that can render at full quality, and in real time. Some
other programs require slow churning-out of the file before it looks
good/smooth.

Yes, there are other applications that are better than PP for the
prepared presentation, but if you love PP, more power, etc.
Please, please do trim replies and put your response beneath it. We all

For some years now I've used a program called "My Slide Show". I think it
does all that you want, and easily burns the show onto a CD-ROM which will
run the show on Windows computers without additional software.
