How do you upload and save a DVD to your computer?
To make a backup of a DVD you own (to be able to play it on different devices, etc..) you must use a computer program that reads the disk, and stores it in a file format with high quality.
There are many such programs, a free one that is widely used is in a link below.

Most commercial DVDs have copy protection to prevent the content being stored elsewhere. The owners of the content use this to protect their investment into the work.

How do you bring up a slide show from your computer on a friends computer?
Unless you have the computers networked, you can't. You'd have to save the slide show on a flash drive or other writable media (such as a DVD) and bring the device to the friend's computer in order to watch it. Alternately, you could upload the slide show to the Internet from your computer and download it on your friend's computer.
