Question

In iDVD can I play a movie of some pictures and also use the dvd for a location of the pictures used soe a person can watch the movie or go to a folder from the menu and see the pictures or drag the pictures to their computer?

Answer 1

Are you referring to the Dvd-Rom section of the dvd? Yes you can add any file you wish to this section but it wont be playable by most set top dvd players. But you can use a computer to drag and drop the data to a different mac or pc.
Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc
You can let viewers copy files directly from your DVD by adding the files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc. These files are burned onto the DVD and are accessible when the disc is viewed on either a Windows PC or a Macintosh computer, but not a DVD player.
You can add any kind of file to the disc. For example, if your disc contains a slideshow, you can add the image files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so viewers can download them to their own computers and print them. You can also add a file containing your movie production notes and other “extras.”
To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:
Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents.
The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.
Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.
Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open to add them to the disc.
You can also drag files directly to the DVD-ROM Contents window. When you are done, just close the window.
When you add a file to the DVD-ROM portion of your disc, before you burn the disc the project contains just a reference to the location of the file on your hard disk, not the actual file. So if you delete a file from your computer or move it from its location after adding it to the DVD-ROM contents, you get a “File not found” message when you try to burn your disc. You can either remove these missing files from the DVD-ROM contents or find them on your computer and put them back in the original location so iDVD can access them.
As you add files to the DVD-ROM contents, be sure to check the DVD Capacity meter in the Project Info window to find out how many gigabytes of disc space are being used. The Capacity meter shows the disc space taken up by the video portion of the disc as well as the DVD-ROM portion.
NOTE: It is not recommended that you use this feature as a way to create regular system backups on DVD. If you want to create DVD backups of files on your computer’s hard disk, use the Burn Disc feature in the Finder.
When you add RAW images to a slideshow from iPhoto or from elsewhere on your computer, the files appear as JPEG images in your slideshow. If, in iDVD preferences, you choose to add photos from the slideshow to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc (so that viewers can download them to their computers), the RAW files are added, not JPEGs.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.
