Your DVD title is a collection of elements you want your audience to view. The way you
set the connections between these elements determines the way the viewer experiences
your DVD title. You can use the Connections tab to determine how the viewer moves
from one element to another. You make links so the viewer jumps from a starting point,
or source, to a destination, or target.

About Connections

There are a number of places within DVD Studio Pro where you can establish connections
between a project’s elements. Some are in Inspectors and some are in shortcut menus.
Some connections are automatically set when you import an asset directly to a menu or
track. The Connections tab provides a way to view and set all connections for a selected
element, such as a menu or track, at the same time. You can also use the Connections
tab to verify that you have not inadvertently left an item without a connection.
