00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:05,772
[Working with the iDVD Map View]
iDVD's Map View provides
a simple way to keep track

3
00:00:05,772 --> 00:00:09,509
of all your menus, movies and slideshows.

4
00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:12,345
Click the "Map" button to enter into Map View.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,684
Each of the square icons
represents an item in your project

6
00:00:17,684 --> 00:00:20,053
such as a menu or movie.

7
00:00:20,053 --> 00:00:23,523
The lines connecting them
reveal navigation links,

8
00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:27,694
for example a line between
a menu icon and a movie icon

9
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:32,432
indicates that the movie can be played
from that menu on the DVD.

10
00:00:32,432 --> 00:00:36,302
Buttons in the lower left allow you
to view the icons left to right

11
00:00:36,302 --> 00:00:39,606
or top to bottom, depending on your preference.

12
00:00:39,606 --> 00:00:41,808
To change the size of the icons

13
00:00:41,808 --> 00:00:45,078
click and drag the slider
at the base of the window;

14
00:00:45,078 --> 00:00:47,480
clicking the triangle on the edge of the icon

15
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:52,485
shows or hides the menus, videos
and slideshows connected to it.

16
00:00:52,485 --> 00:00:55,555
The very first icon is the project icon,

17
00:00:55,555 --> 00:00:58,224
whatever is added to this icon
will be the first thing

18
00:00:58,224 --> 00:01:02,328
a viewer sees when your DVD
is inserted into a player.

19
00:01:02,328 --> 00:01:05,865
Just drag the content
from the media pane onto the icon,

20
00:01:05,865 --> 00:01:07,700
whatever you add will play first,

21
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:11,304
then the DVD will move on to your main menu.

22
00:01:11,304 --> 00:01:14,908
You can use the Map View to add new movies,

23
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:16,910
menus and slideshows.

24
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:18,845
Just click on the menu icon

25
00:01:18,845 --> 00:01:22,148
and choose one of the add options
from the add menu.

26
00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:24,818
The new item will be added to the selected menu

27
00:01:24,818 --> 00:01:28,521
and you'll see its icon appear in the Map View.

28
00:01:29,522 --> 00:01:31,891
The Map View also displays warning symbols

29
00:01:31,891 --> 00:01:35,428
to help you catch problems
before you burn your DVD.

30
00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:37,964
Hold your mouse pointer over any alert triangle

31
00:01:37,964 --> 00:01:40,200
to review the warning.

32
00:01:42,068 --> 00:01:46,673
The Map View is a great way to jump
to different sections of your DVD.

33
00:01:46,706 --> 00:01:49,609
For example, double-clicking a slideshow icon

34
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:54,414
will open that slideshow in the slideshow editor.

35
00:01:56,549 --> 00:01:58,184
When you're finished editing

36
00:01:58,184 --> 00:02:00,487
click "Return" in the slideshow editor

37
00:02:00,487 --> 00:02:02,455
to go back to the Map View.

38
00:02:04,057 --> 00:02:06,359
To return to the main window

39
00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:09,696
