It's actually pretty simple, depending on the software you use.  If you're
on the Mac, then iDVD is the way to go - create 720x480 images and add "hot
spots" that link to the movies, other images, URL links (for DVD-ROM users),
etc.  The "V" in DVD stands for "versatile" and it really is.

If you're a Windows user (like me), then the authoring tools aren't as easy
to use.

You can find more information at http://www.recipe4dvd.com and the owner of
the site has a free seminar that teaches Mac DVD authoring.
