Map View

You use map view to get a bird’s-eye view of your DVD project. Map view provides a
visual representation of how all your submenus, slideshows, and movies are linked
together. You can also edit your DVD menus directly in map view, adding or removing
elements from your project, and check for errors before you burn a DVD disc.

To see map view, click the Map button at the bottom of the iDVD window.
