There are several ways to do this.
I would generally use iMovie HD 06 and iDVD. You can also use QuickTime and Toast. I don't think you need QuickTime Pro, however it is inexpensive to get.
Thanks. I did not mention that I am a PC user; iDVD only works on a Mac. Therefore I am going to assume QT is my best bet. Thanks for your reply.

Do you want to create a video DVD that will play on a TV set via a DVD player? If so Quicktime won't do the job. You'll need a video DVD authoring application that will run under Windows. These two websites list apps for Windows to create video DVDs.

If you just want to create a data DVD that contains the movie file you can do it with the system software on your PC. Just burn like you would burn any other files to a disk.
Thanks very much. I downloaded DVD Flick and everything went smoothly till where I had to save the project to a drive before burning the file to a DVD. It said save it to your hard drive (or external hard drive) first; but the only option was to save it to the D drive in the drop down window. There is no way for me to add in a different drive and no other drive is provided as an option. Do you have any idea why this would be? Many thanks,

I've never used a PC except to send email from a hotel in Europe so can't help you with that. Best find a Windows forum or ask the software's developers.
I figured it out. Thank you for your recommendation and input.
