Hi AeR0,
If you want to do it with freeware you can use DVD slideshow GUI to render your slideshow. You can see the tutorial in flash here: flash tutorial.
Then you can use GUI for DVDauthor to make your menu with buttons and import the mpg from DVDslideshowGUI and your video as mpg(if you video is avi - you can encode it to mpg with quenc. Gui for DVDauthor guide here: DVD menu guide
Or
You can use DVDauthor GUI to set up your menu and add the dvd slideshow gui m2v+mp2 and your video to the dvd.
And finally burn with cdburnerxp pro
Have fun,

Hi AeR0,
However you get there, you'll need both your slideshow and video in DVD compliant MPEG2.
When authoring, each one will go into it's own track and then the menu will list both tracks so the viewer can pick one or the other, as you want.There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.

ok ive got the picture slideshow program im using slide show movie maker version 3.7
how do i add a video now ? and how do i make a menu so i can select either the slideshow or the movie? -
Slideshow Movie Make (I believe) outputs to AVI. You need to encode this AVI to DVD compliant MPEG2, then follow my words in the post above.
If you're not sure on encoding, there's loads of guides to the left.
A good-t-start-with authoring app is TMPGEnc DVD Author, as well as others already mentioned.There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.

right the one i got puts it to a .avi video file.
could i still use this one? -
No. See my previous post. A pretty good but affordable encoder is TMPGEnc Plus.

AVIDemux is a good free AVI to Mpeg2 Recorder!

Why use the Xvid codec? It just introduces quality loss. You're better off using something like a DV or similar codec, unless space is an issue...

Only 2Gb!!! That's terrible!
Is that OS independent (i.e. FAT32 and NTFS)? And there's no setting in SSMM? It's not a limitation of a trial or something like that is it?
DV isn't quite uncompressed, it's compressed but at something like 25Mbps. Any DV codec should be OK, but the Panasonic DV codec is good and free.There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.

Well, I never knew that - then again, I've never used it.

Anything that's compatible with SSMM and outputs an AVi, that's also lossless or close to it.
I'm not familiar with these - so check them out:

About Huffyuv, I looked on their site and this was part of the description:
Huffyuv is an open-source, freeware codec that offers excellent performance, but obviously, as all other lossless video codecs as well, requires helluvalot of free HDD space -
Yeah - That 2Gb limit really is "a limit". How constricting...?

Vdub started reindexing the file, and then rebuilt the keyframes, and it seemed to work! I saved it out to a new file using "Direct stream copy", and I couldn't see any problems with the file - it played fine. It did take a while, maybe 30 mins to reindex and rekey.
I was able to add the file into my NLE to mix with some Video, and then output to MPEG2.
Not an ideal solution, but it did seem to work. Would be interested if it works for anyone else."Just another sheep boy, duck call, swan

I may be missing something - the consensus here seems to be drifting towards creating the slideshow as an AVI clip - ie. repeating each slide (frame) for as long as necessary, muxing with a soundtrack and encoding with MPEG2?
If so...
Why use a technique that is so wasteful of time and DVD disk space when DVD has a built in feature for displaying still images with background music? See Audio DVD Creator for an example of specialized software which can do it. Any semi-pro DVD authoring app will also let you do it (with a bit more work), and will also let you mix stills and motion backgrounds on the same dvd (which I don't think the specialized apps will). -
Well this is one of the many instances that having a NLE makes things so much easer.
Not any help. I know.

Ignore the little interlude that went on - you've got an AVI from SlideShow Movie Maker. This needs to be encoded to DVD compliant MPEG2.
You should also have a DVD compliant MPEG2 for your video.
Each of these, when authoring, will go into it's own track. The menu will then be able to give the option of choosing one or the other, as you want.
EDIT: And I forgot to add what Garibaldi says below...There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.
