Project Info Window
You use the Project Info window to keep an eye on your iDVD project resources and
monitor the space available on your hard disk and the disc you’ll burn to. To see the
Project Info window, choose Project > Project Info.
A Disc Name: Type a name for the disc. The disc name can be different than the name of your
saved project.
B Video Mode pop-up menu: Choose a format for your project. NTSC is used in North America,
Japan, and some other non-European countries. PAL is used in most European countries.
C Aspect Ratio buttons: Choose an aspect ratio for your project. Standard television screens have
an aspect ratio of 4:3 and widescreen televisions have an aspect ratio of 16:9.
D Encoding buttons: Select the encoding setting for the project. Best Performance takes less time
to burn, while Best Quality takes longer to burn but provides the best quality possible.
E DVD Type pop-up menu: Choose the type of DVD to use for the project.
F Project Duration: See the playing time for all the content on the DVD.
G DVD Capacity: See how much space is left in your iDVD project. Clicking the text on the right
switches between disc space in gigabytes (GB), and time in minutes. The project’s size is limited
by the size of the DVD disc.
H Status meters: See how much time is available for video and audio in menu backgrounds and
buttons; how many tracks (videos and slideshows) you can still add to your DVD; and how many
more submenus you can add.
