Upgrading from Final Cut Express to FCPX

Question

I have downloaded the trial version of FCPX and need help in trying to make a DVD using photos I have optimized via Adobe Elements.  Each photos has dimensions of 4288 X 2848 and has a size of about 500 Kb.
I have opened the FCPX trial with its original parameters [720 p and 23fps?] and made a project which lasts about 10 minutes using these photos while applying the Ken Burns Effect, transitions and sound. 
I would like to make a DVD for viewing on my TV but don’t know how.  In Final cut Express, I would export the project as a Quick Time movie and then open it in i-DVD where I could burn a DVD of the project.
So my questions are;
1] are my photos optimized correctly,
2] are the settings in the trial FCPX OK [previously I used AVCHD Intermediate Codec 1920 X 1080i60 at 29.97fps in Final Cut Express]
3] how do I burn a DVD of projects made in FCPX? 

Answer 1

1) Your images are probably about three times larger than they need to be for standard defintion.
2) If you're working on with stills and going to DVD, which is standard definition, there is really no point in working in anything other than an SD format 720x480 widescreen if you want or 4:3. Make it progressive and whatever frame rate you need, PAL or NTSC, or 23.98.
3) FCP has a simply DVD burning function, or you can do as you did before, export a master file and take it to iDVD. (Be careful though if you're using anamorphic settings.)
