If the slide show runs 30 seconds or less, you could create your 
30-minute slide show in iMovie, and then drop that into an iDVD 
theme's drop zone or set it as the background movie, which would 
cause it to play continuously in a loop. I seem to recall that there 
is some hack you can do to the project to increase the loop time if 
necessary.
