Slideshow and preservation of original pictures

Hi I am sorry if this has been asked before and I am sure it must have been but I have searched through the forum and cannot find it.

I want to make a slideshow with audio to watch via my DVD player on my TV but I also want the DVD I make to contain the photos in their original un-interfered with form (or maybe in their form after any corrections have been made that they really warrant) so that I can use that DVD as my storage of the photos instead of my HD, a bit like you used to keep your 35mm photos in your draw, that you could get to at any time. Well I want my DVD to be my draw as well as a beautiful TV slideshow.

I would prefer if as I write the slideshow to DVD the photos are accessible afterwards by my PC without any further action but I appreciate that I may have to create some other folder which stores these original photos, unless you can tell me different.

I like to preserve them like this so that I can make prints off of them, send them to people or reuse them, etc etc.

So can anybody tell me how you would go about achieving this?

when you author the DVD (Share/create disc) at the last step where you find the Burn button, there is bottom left a icon of a small disc with an i on it, that's the Options button.
There select Personal Folder and browse to the place where your images are stored.
The whole directory and its content will be added to the disc, space permitting.

Please view:

Note the option to burn a personal folder to disc.
