IDVD Menu Help

I am new to iDVD and jere is the issue.
I brought my movie in with 12 chapters in the "Revolution" theme.
On the first page it has "Scenes 1-6" with just a simple link to that chapter.
But when I go to the next page it has "Scenes 7-12" but with little movie clips under the links.
I don't really want the movie clips underneath - just a simple link like on the 1st page.
Is there a way to do this?

click on a button in the Preview window, click on 'Buttons' (right menu), choose 'Text', choose the 'nix' sign..
repeat 6x ..

  • Idvd menu playback

    Hi I have two questions/issues with iDVD. I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to iDVD but I have checked all over the internet for the answers.
    First I am using the soft frame theme and I am using all three drop zones with video filling them. When I play back the dvd in the dvd preview the video plays very choppy. It is almost frame by frame. The effects of the menu are also slow (in fact the whole preview of the dvd seems to be slow).
    My second problem is that when adding background music the dvd takes the whole length of the song to loop, and in the short time is takes someone to choose a button the first drop zone is still looping.

    Q: First I am using the soft frame theme and I am using all three drop zones with video filling them. When I play back the dvd in the dvd preview the video plays very choppy. It is almost frame by frame.
    A: Don't rely so much on iDvd's preview function as much as apple's dvd player app. The latter is what you should use to test actual Dvd playback. What I do is make a disc image from the file menu in iDvd. Then I open the media from apple's dvd player. Assuming it plays as expected, I then burn to Verbatim Dvd-R at 4x.
    As for the requested audio adjustments you are trying to make. You have at least 2 choices. You can adjust the loop duration and volume as shown below within iDvd itself. Or you can edit the audio outside of iDvd in iMovie, QT Pro, GB, etc. And customize the track /length prior to adding it to audio well in iDvd.

  • How to lift a segment of a song for iDVD menu

    how to lift a segment of a song for iDVD menu
    I do not want to lop off the end-- I want to lift a middle segment of a piece of music and loop it on the menu page for iDVD
    Help?

    Try adjusting the start and end point in iTunes Info window for that particular track:
    However, before committing to a disk burn save it as a Disk Image and play it with DVD Player to make sure the edit in iTunes was carried out in the final product.  It doesn't in some instances. 
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Screen help,menu help

    hi,
      can anyone tell me about the following helps
    1)what is screen help?
    2)what is menu help?

    I'd try the DVD on your computer and in another DVD player/TV to see if it's a TV setting or an iDVD issue.

  • No iDVD menu on desktop

    When I double click on iDVD icon ( in Dock or in Apps folder ) iDVD shows
    on Menu Bar at top of screen and window opens with "open project"
    "new project" and "open tutorial" choices. But when I select any of those
    three, the window goes away but nothing else happens, no iDVD menu
    appears. The program doesn't freeze, I can still pull down 'file' and select
    "new project" etc, but with same results. I have sucessfully used iDVD 3 or 4
    times in the past few months, the last time was about a month ago. This is the first time I have tried it since then. I have tried two things: I put the iDVD preference file from the library folder in the trash. And I copied the iDVD
    application from my Mac HD to my internal 200 GB drive and tried opening it
    from there. No change. I am a novice so I am flailing around here. Any help?

    My standard list of things to do first...
    Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
    Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system.
    Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
    Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
    Reboot your Mac.
    Yours is certainly a new one!

  • Putting multiple chapter-marked movies under one IDVD menu

    I am currently making various instructional videos for a company and I want to fit 4 separate imovies that are chapter-marked under 1 idvd menu so I can fit this in 1 Dual layer DVD . Any answer can help. Thanks
    Macbook Pro 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I assumed the OP had tried that and it failed..
    I asssumed he was using the 'Export from iMovie' approach that only gives you a way to add one movie to an iDVD project.
    Anyway, we should have him covered.

  • Image size and dpi for iDVD menu custom background?

    I created a custom background for my iDVD menu. When showing
    on my TV, part of the words and image is cut off on each side, even after adjusting my tv picture between wide screen and standard screen.
    What is the correct size and dpi to make a photograph to use as a background
    image in the menus? This may have been answered before, so I apologize for posting the same question, if so.

    iDVD will try to downsize the image to work, but your TV often will overscan with the result being edges clipped off. The amount of clipping can vary, so the "TV Safe" settings will typically be the center 80-90% of the image. So, if you add a border that makes the image 10-15% larger, that should display the whole image. For example, if you had a 150 dpi image that was 640x480, you could put a 10% border on it so the final image was 704x528.

  • Is there a way to get my iDVD Menu to the beginning of my movie on the DVD?

    Is there a way to get my iDVD Menu to the beginning of my movie on the DVD?

    Go into the Map mode and make sure there are no items in the far left hand bin.
    If there is something in that bin drag it out, save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.  To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    Hi...
    Better to post in the iDVD forum here.
    That way you can get feedback from iDVD users. This forum is for troubleshooting Mac App Store issues.

  • I have created an iMovie file and have created an iDVD menu file. I am now ready to burn a DVD. But my superdirve is broken. If I put my files on a mac without iMovie or iDVD, can I burn my DVD with Toast 11?

    I have created an iMovie file and have created an iDVD menu file. I am now ready to burn a DVD. But my superdirve is broken. If I put my files on a mac without iMovie or iDVD, can I still burn my DVD with Toast 11?

    launch the Disk Utility, burn that dmg .......

  • The TOOLS menu & HELP menu are missing (not the whole bar)

    the TOOLS menu & HELP menu are missing (not the whole tool bar, but only these two menus), I can see File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks but not Tools and Help (on Firefox 3.6 on windows XP)

    I suspect that you installed an extension that hides some menu items thru user settable preferences.
    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

    • How much free space is there on Your Start-Up Hard Disk ?
    If less than 25Gb - then iDVD will get a hard task as iDVD and Mac OS needs this space for it's pref files (can't be easily addressed to other hard disk)
    Then
    • I do not use "Share to iDVD" - but - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other resolution)
    If still problem - then
    • Material used in iMovie can be the problem maker eg .mp3 audio and .avi, .wmv/a files etc.
