You're welcome Susan, My Keynote slideshows normally have an Audio Sound Track and I found using the "Share-Send to-iDVD" the sound track was all out of sync when played in iDVD.
So I decided to "Share > Export to Quicktime. Playback Uses: Fixed Timing Slide Duration: 4.0 seconds Build Duration: 1.5 seconds (these settings matching what I had in my Keynote Presentation) Repeat: None Ticked "Enter full screen mode when opened" Formats: Full Quality, Large Audio ticked include audio (sound files, movie audio) & include the slideshow soundtrack Exported to Movies Folder Played the exported quicktime movie to check it and it was in perfect sync. Then opened iDVD & created a DVD project using this exported QT movie. Saved as a Disc Image to check and it was fine when played in DVD Player.app Then burnt a DVD from the disc image using Toast 10 Titanium Played the completed DVD in my DVD Player / TV and it was perfect. So, I would suggest if you have a sound track in your Keynote Slideshow, that you export using Quicktime with similar settings to mine above.
