Creating DVD slideshow

I am wanting to give clients a DVD with a slideshow of images with music and effects. I am also wanting to put full res images on the DVD that can be viewed and downloaded separately.
What is the best way to do this? I tried to do it with iPhoto and iDvd, but I dont know how to add the pictures without them being in the slideshow.
To be clear, the DVD will contain a slideshow, but then it will also have an index of all the images that can be downloaded as well.
Thanks.

Pro Show Producer will allow you to put the images onto the DVD. I'm not sure about Pro Show Gold which has less features

Mikel - Use whatever program suits you to create the DVD Slideshow.

Now use your Disk-Writer program to write that to a DVD+RW. You can then open the DVD+RW and add directories (folders) of anything you like to the disk.

A 2GB DVD Slideshow, even in Full HD-sized images for large widescreen TVs, would be one very large Slideshow!

To that you could add about 2GB of other data in named directories. Adding directories shouldn't affect the instant-play functions of the Slideshow - the controls for that are in the root-directory of the DVD.

Then just use your Disk-Writer program to "Copy-DVD" to as many DVD+Rs as you need for distribution.

If you don't need the Contents on the DVD+RW as backup (if so just write them to a DVD+R for backup) - you can then reformat the DVD+RW - and use it many times for the same sorts of jobs.

If you wanted more than one Slideshow on a DVD, with selectable Menus, add short video-clips into Slideshows, and a lot of other functions - including of course putting videos with selectable Menus onto DVDs - you might look at the free DVD-Styler (Windows - Mac - Linux) -

Won't link it, in case not allowed - but they're at: w-w.dvdstyler.org

You can also use it with your P&S camera videos - after converting format, editing, etc, you can add a Start Menu with Styler, and it will burn your "new movie" in fully compliant DVD format to a DVD.

Or, if you want to do that yourself, say, make several to share around - DVD-Styler will just create an ISO, or a fully compliant DVD-Fileset - either of which you then just write as many times as you like with your Disk-Writer program.

An ISO or Fileset is also a good backup to XHD, etc - for when you want to use it again.
