Add a Movie With Chapter Markers
After you have chosen your theme, you can add movies to your iDVD project. In this
section, you’ll add a movie that contains chapter markers, so that viewers have the
option of jumping to a scene when they watch your DVD, like in Hollywood-style DVDs.
(Chapter markers must be set using iMovie or other video-editing software at the time
you create your movie, before you add the movie to your iDVD project.) When you drag
a movie with chapter markers to the menu, iDVD recognizes the chapter markers and
automatically creates scene selection menus with buttons that link to each of the
chapters.
To add a movie with chapter markers:
1 Click the Media button at the top of the Customize drawer and choose Movies from the
pop-up menu. Drag a movie with chapter markers from the movies list in the Media
Browser to the menu background. Be sure to drop the movie in an area outside of the
gray drop zone. (Movies added to the drop zone become part of the menu
background, rather than featured movies on the DVD.)
The DVD menu title changes to the name of the movie. iDVD automatically creates two
buttons on the menu: a Play Movie button [A], so the viewer can play the entire movie,
and a Scene Selection button [B] that links to the scene selection menu.
In this illustration, the movie is titled “Oh Dog!” The drop zone contains the text “Drag
Zone 1”.
