Export the slideshow out of iMovie as a QT movie file via the File ➙ Share ➙ File menu option. . Select 540p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
Since iDVD has been discontinued for over 5 years if you have problems using it I suggest you try one of the video DVD authoring apps that are available from the App Store. There are a couple that are free but offer paid versions which have additional features, i.e. more themes, etc. They work with Sierra quite well. You can still use the workflow above with those apps.
