Check Project Files
All the items you added to your project are listed in the Media list with the path to
their location on your hard disk or another location.
In the Type column, you can see whether the item is a picture file, audio file, or
something else. A checkmark in the Status column lets you know that the item is
present and accounted for. If you move the original file from its location, you can see at
a glance that it’s missing because the checkmark will also be missing. If you notice an
item is missing from its location, you can:
 Locate the item and put it back in its original location.
 Remove the button that linked to the item.
 Locate the file when iDVD asks you the next time you open the project.
Check Your Project for Errors
If you begin to burn your project without checking it, iDVD shows you a dialog letting
you know if there are errors in your project. This prevents you from creating a DVD that
can’t be played. It’s a good idea to check for errors before you begin to burn a disc.
The most thorough way to check your project is to preview and test it by clicking all
the buttons and viewing every video and slideshow to make sure everything works
properly. If your project is very large, this could take some time. You can spot-check
your project in less time using map view.
To check for errors:
1 Click the Map button to view your project in map view.
2 Look for warning symbols like the one below that indicate a problem with a menu or
one of the assets.
3 Move the pointer over the symbol to see an explanation of the error.
4 Make the necessary correction and return to map view to see if the warning symbol is
gone.
5 Save your project.
