I was looking at some software from Panic and Iconfactory yesterday, and there disk images are fantastic.

Does anybody here make disk images for software or media distribution?
What are some of your tips/tricks?

I might post this in GUI also because SWIZ and MAX do a great job of this too.

There's an app out there that allows you to build those nice looking disk images. The name completely slips my mind right now. From what I remember of it, it seems like a really nice app.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

You can do it yourself by carefully tweaking .DS_Store files, checking out how others do it, using a hex editor, and making the disk image over and over again, or you can drop $20 on FileStorm and reward MindVision for the coolest installer builder ever.
