Theme is the point

iDVD lets you customize your DVD starting with the theme. Choose from 150 Apple-designed themes, including widescreen and standard screens. Each theme offers a full range of effects, including home screens, scene menus, and special menus designed for slideshows. Many themes include dizzying animation effects, and each theme has a drop zone, so you can easily drag and drop photos and videos from the iLife media browsing panel to personalize your menu.

One step from camera to DVD

You have a video clip in the camera, but can't wait to enjoy it and share it with everyone? You can use OneStep DVD to make your personal digital life diary. Connect your camcorder to your computer and iDVD will automatically turn on, letting you choose to make a OneStep DVD. Press the OneStep button and iDVD will take all movie clips and burn them to DVD. Just like when you burn a disc, iDVD will tell you the progress of its burning through a progress display, and you can display real-time video thumbnails.

Create a personalized DVD

If you like the do-it-yourself type, iDVD gives you a lot of options to further customize your DVD.

Making the scene

Turn your iMovie project into your next iDVD title, and you can add scene menus. iDVD automatically enters iMovie's scene markers and uses them as a scene selection. iMovie adds a preview of the scene to each scene marker on the timeline, as well as editable scene titles (such as "Blow a Candle" or "Kiss Bride Time").

Save time by editing scene titles in iMovie. iDVD takes these scene titles as scene menu buttons.

Show off your photo slideshow

You can also show off your photos with iDVD. Choose an iDVD theme and you can add photos one by one, or choose to add entire albums, customized iPhoto albums, slideshows, or even a movie clip or two from the iLife media browsing panel. Later use the iDVD slideshow editor to reorganize photos, delete slides or add more photos from iPhoto. The slideshow editor includes tools to set slideshow duration, specify cutscenes, and add soundtracks from songs in the iTunes library.

Final touch

When you have everything ready, iDVD lets you customize the menu screen. Customize the drop zone with photos or movie clips, choose from a library of buttons, and use the built-in alignment guide to make your DVD perfect.
