As a new user I have found that a slide show with background music in Aperture3, imported as a new project to iDVD then burned to DVD, is liable to admittedly limited, but still irritating, sections of pixillation when playing back.
Is this likely to happen regularly? Can anything be done to avoid it?

What settings are you exporing at? What settings are you using in iDVD?
I was looking into this last week, I think it's due to the fact that DVD resolution isn't anything near as good as your original images, it's somethng like 720x576. You'd need BluRay to get similar resolution. (Though I may be wrong on this!!)
I found that watching them on a TV through a DVD player looked a lot better than playing them on my Mac.
exporting at HD1080p Not sure about iDVD settings excpet that I was using widescreen format
I'm a bit shaky on the ramifications of all the video standards and how they interact but I'm pretty sure you can't really put a HD1080p souce on a standard DVD and expect the best quality.
See Shuttleworth's post.
I would try exporting at some of the other settings to see if the problem clears up.
