What’s New in iDVD 6
iDVD 6 adds many new features that make DVD creation faster and easier, with more
professional results than ever.
Â
Magic iDVD: Choose a theme, select your movies and photos, and iDVD creates a
complete DVD project for you. Magic iDVD projects include a main menu with
buttons for your movies and slideshows and scene selection menus for movies with
chapters. Drop zones are filled automatically with your content. You can burn the
DVD or continue editing it like any other iDVD project.
 Widescreen all the way : Now you can author widescreen DVDs with widescreen
themes, menus, movies, and slideshows. And with its new, resizable window, iDVD
makes it even easier for you to work in widescreen projects.
 Next-generation iDVD themes: New, Apple-designed themes showcase both
standard and widescreen projects. Each new theme family includes a coordinating
main menu, chapter or scene selection menus, and extras.
 Fill drop zones automatically: Add your videos and photos to all the drop zones of a
DVD menu with just one click. The new drop zone editor is easier to use and makes
short work of filling the drop zones on a menu.
 Flexible DVD menu and button editing: Now you can design DVD menus and
buttons exactly the way you want. Adjust the volume of the background audio and
make it fade in and out. Choose from more button styles, customize the button
highlight color, and set the in and out points for motion buttons. Go ahead and mix
button styles on a menu if you'd like—you're the creative force behind your DVD.
 Improved slideshows: Slideshows have never looked so good. Now your slideshows
can include titles and comments, and one slideshow can hold thousands of slides.
You can create slideshows from iPhoto books and import Keynote slides to make a
professional presentation DVD.
 Enhanced map view editing: Now you can reorganize even the largest DVD project
with a simple drag and drop. Drag and drop DVD menu icons in map view to move
elements from one menu to another. You can even delete a section of the DVD
project and the menus reconnect automatically. Map view alerts identify potential
problems with your DVD before you burn it to a disc.
 Multiple drive support: If you have multiple disc burning drives, iDVD now lets you
pick the drive you want to use to burn a DVD.
