[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
click the Map View button once more.
