Locate the Movies, Photos, and Audio Files to Use in the Tutorial
Before you can create a DVD, you need to assemble your images and be sure your movies and
songs are in the right format for iDVD.
The video clips, images, and audio files you’ll use in this tutorial are located inside the iDVD
Tutorial folder in the /Library/Application Support folder on your hard disk. They are already in
the proper format.
Open a New Project in iDVD
If iDVD isn’t open, double-click the iDVD application icon on your hard disk. If this is the first time
iDVD has been opened, click the New Project button in the dialog.
If iDVD is already open, choose File > New Project. In the dialog that appears, click the Don’t Save
button to close the tutorial demo and leave it as it was. Choose a location for your new project,
and click Create.
Select the Theme
A theme is a combination of the background image or background movie that appears on your
DVD menu along with the button style, fonts, sizes, and locations for titles and button labels. You
can use one of the themes that come with iDVD, or you can customize them and create your
own theme. In this tutorial, you will learn how to select an existing iDVD theme.
To choose the theme for your DVD menu:
1 Click the Customize button [A] at the bottom of the iDVD window. The Customize drawer opens.
