iDVD at a Glance
Use iDVD to create DVDs containing your own movies and slideshows, along with attractive and
easy-to-navigate DVD menus, just like professional DVDs. Discs burned using iDVD can be played
in computers with DVD drives and in most set-top DVD players.
To create an iDVD project, select a theme from the list in the Themes pane. iDVD provides several
fun and elegant themes to use for your DVD menus. Customize the theme by adding your own
background music, photos, or video loops. Then add buttons that link to your movies and
slideshows. You can create several levels of menus to organize your movies and slideshows on a
single DVD.
As you design a DVD menu, you can see your project presented in different ways in the main
iDVD window; this makes it easier to work on different parts of the menu. You use the controls
and options in the Customize drawer to add or change items in your DVD menus.
The pages that follow introduce you to the different views and controls in the iDVD window and
the panes in the Customize drawer. Looking at these pages will help you learn the names of your
iDVD controls, so you can easily follow the instructions in iDVD Help.
