1. You need an video encoder. I'd recommend CCE Basic. At $58 it's a steal.
http://www.cinemacraft.com/eng/basic.html - It's one of the fastest encoders out there and the quality is superb at high bitrates. The 'basic' version restricts the number of encoding passes to 2 but that should be enough for most situations.

2. You can leave the audio from your DV uncompressed or you can can encode it to mp2 or ac3.

3. Once you've encoded your video (and optionally your audio) you will need to 'author' it. At this stage you can create a menu, chapter points etc.
I'd recommend DVD-Lab. http://www.mediachance.com/dvdlab/index.html - $99
