The easiest way to proceed is to make your show in 4 or 5 sections,
then use a DVD-creating program (like Nero) to combine them into a
single DVD, perhaps with chapters.

When you play a DVD with chapters, they will play seamlessly--but you
will want a song to end at the end of a chapter.

To avoid "weirdness", try to stay well below Photo Story's limits.
(Lots of music also counts against the limit.)
