Not sure exactly what you're describing, but I'll assume you have a PC and not a Mac. If you have a Mac, Ocho is probably the guy to talk to.
I think you need more than one piece of software. For DVD/VCD creation, I'd recommend Sonic or Nero. I've used both and they're pretty similar. Nero seems a little more flexible, but Sonic seems a little more stable, so depends on your taste. Also, it depends on what you're trying to create DVD's of. If you're looking to rip DVD's and re-copy them, that's a much longer conversation with a lot more involvment.
For editing pictures Photoshop is the de facto standard. It sounds like I'm not understanding exactly what you're trying to do, so if you describe in more detail I might be able to provide more commentary. |

| For a 'relatively' cheap photo editor you may want to try Paint Shop Pro. You can get a free trial here |

Or if you decide to go the Photoshop route, I'd recommend Adobe Photoshop Elements. It's significantly cheaper than the Creative Suite.
