Basically, you hook your equipment up to your Mac and use software to capture the audio and then burn to disk.
Go to RadioShack and get a stereo RCA to 1/8" converter cable. They're only a few bucks. This will allow you to plug your equipment up with their RCA jacks to your computer's 1/8" stereo jack.
Your Cassette player will be pretty easy to connect because the output power on it will be line level. The record player, on the other hand, may be at a different level, and you will need a pre-amp to convert the small output to line level. You can test this by swapping them out on the same jack on your amp and seeing if you experiance a dramatic loss of volume on your record player.
You can use several different types of software to record your audio. Garage Band, for example, would be a good app to use. Just find a software program that can record audio.
Import to a program like iTunes. Make sure to check your import compression settings before you start to ensure a good sound. You may even want to not use any compression yet before you burn it to disk.
You said DVD. You can use a DVD, but it can only contain audio files and won't be playable on standard CD players. Just get a pack of CD-Rs and you'll be good to go.

Get this little gizmo called iMic. It hooks directly to the cassette player or turntable and loads onto the computer. Sweet.
