Use Map View

Using map view, you can see a graphical overview of your project, that shows icons for each
element in the project and navigational paths to each submenu, slideshow, and movie.

In map view, you can drag media into the project to set an “autoplay” movie or slideshow, set
movies or slideshows to repeat (or “loop”), and click menus and slideshows to open them and
work on them. You can also preview parts of the DVD from the DVD map.

In this section of the tutorial, you will use the map view to see the autoplay movie that is
included with the theme you selected at the beginning. You will also navigate to different views
in iDVD, and preview your iDVD project.
