There are special programs that help you to create menus for DVD as well as converting videos to MPEG2. Can't remember what their names are but go to download.com and search for 'DVD maker' and you'll come up with a lot of programs that can do that.

You will need a) program to transcode media from a variety of formats to an MPEG-2 compliant file, usually .m2v (and one to transcode your audio to AC3 or other format you wish to do). I recommend using CCE or TMPGenc for this step (video) and using VirtualDub Mod and a range of audio programs( i use VDub to extract the audio into a .wav, and then ffmpeggui to transcode to AC3 b) a DVD authoring program, you can use a variety, from IFOeditor, which is a simple authoring program, to Adobe Encore which has full integration into photoshop, but is very expensive. c) [optional depending on your authoring software] A DVD burning tool, Nero i find is best for this.

Research is your friend.

This is for the advice and use of legitimate media

Adobe Premiere if you want a challenge / Windows Movie Maker 2 if you want to do something quick. And Ulead DVD Studio is nice for compiling a DVD.

You're only going to be buying it if you're very rich. Otherwise you would want access to a version either through some legal source or download. It's about a grand to buy.
