Making a DVD disc for a friend

[Grandpappy]

I want to put together a DVD disc that starts automatically when inserted into a 'basic' DVD player and then plays a small video I have( with music),followed by a slide show with a description of each slide either on screen or as an audible voiceover.I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and have an extra external hard drive of 1Tb.
Where do I start and what do I need; and if I do manage this task, can I then make a copy of said disc and send it to family in Canada?
Constructive advice welcome,please!
Cheers

Windows 7 comes with Windows Live Movie Maker. Use that to import the video and also to create your slide show. You can also use it to create your dvd. I have xp so search on net for a tutorial.

Sorry forgot to add, if the completed movie is small enough, upload to rapidshare or yousendit for free. Not sure of size limits. Your family can then download it.

Thank you TTG. I shall have a good look at the suggested programme.
