On the Mac that software comes with the machine in the form of iDVD. You would construct the video portion with iMovie and then let iDVD do the conversion. It also has a slide-show mode. The pro version of that software is DVD Studio Pro and Final Cut Pro - both of which are included in Final Cut Studio. There are a wealth of PC programs which will do these same tasks although, since I don't use a PC, I've never paid any attention to them. Still, the structure for a DVD which can be played on a regular player is very specific and the compression required is also precisely specified. It's the reason you need a custom piece of software to make it all work.
