Creating a Simple DVD
While DVD Studio Pro is capable of creating complex projects, you may find yourself
needing to create a very simple project that does nothing more than start playing when
you insert the DVD into a DVD player—with no menus and no viewer interaction at all.
This could be a disc that plays in a standalone kiosk or a DVD daily whose only purpose
is to distribute a video track for approval.
To create a simple DVD
1
Choose File > New (or press Command-N) to create a new project.
By default a new project contains Menu 1 and Track 1.
2
Select the Menu 1 tile in the Graphics tab and press Delete.
3
Control-click the Track 1 tile, then choose First Play from the shortcut menu.
This sets the project to automatically start playing this track once the DVD is inserted into
a DVD player. (By default, DVD Studio Pro sets Menu 1 as the First Play element.)
4
Drag the movie from the Library or a Finder window to the Track 1 tile in the Graphics
tab.
This not only imports the movie but assigns it to Track 1.
5
Select the Track 1 tile in the Graphics tab so that the Track Inspector appears.
