30 Chapter 2 iDVD Tutorial
When you remove an autoplay movie, the project icon is not removed, so you can drag
a movie or photo album to the project icon to create a new autoplay movie.
Step Ten: Burn Your DVD
Now that your iDVD project is finished, you’re ready to take the final step and burn it to
a DVD disc. Before you do, there are still a few things you must do to ensure a good
outcome. In this step, you’ll check the project size in the Project Info window, check for
errors in the DVD map, check the encoding quality and status, and get ready to burn a
DVD.
Check the Project Info Window
DVD projects can take up a lot of space on your hard disk, and it’s useful to know when
you need to make more room. In addition, a DVD disc has a maximum size limit. As
you’re working on your project, monitoring the size of your project will help you ensure
that everything fits.
Did You Know?—Editing in the DVD Map
The DVD map gives you an overview of your whole project and lets you quickly apply
changes to more than one item at a time. You can look at it as batch editing. Here are
some of the things you can do in the DVD map:
 Customize the menu settings for one menu or multiple menus at once.
 Add slideshows, movies, or menus directly to your project.
 Delete one or more objects from your project at once.
 See and change transitions from menus to other menus, movies, or slideshows.
 Double-click a slideshow icon to open the slideshow editor.
 Double-click a movie icon to play the movie.
 Click once to select an icon, then use menu commands to apply a change to it.
 Drag to select more than one icon, then use menu commands to apply a change to
all the selected items.
