Step 11: Burn Your DVD
Now that your iDVD project is finished, you’re almost ready to take the final step and
burn it to a DVD disc. There are still a few steps to take to ensure a good outcome. In
this step, you’ll check the project size in the Project Info window, check for errors using
the DVD map, and check the encoding quality and status.
Checking the Project Info Window
DVD projects can take up a lot of space on your hard disk, and it’s useful to know when
you need to make more room. In addition, a DVD disc has a maximum capacity. As
you’re working on your project, monitoring its size will ensure that everything fits.
The Project Info window, shown below, provides all this information and more.
To check the size of your project:
m Choose Project > Project Info.
 The total size of your project, in running time (in minutes) and in size (in megabytes
or gigabytes), shows below the Capacity meter on the far right.
 The Capacity meter shows how much of your project’s total size is used by each of its
elements. The bands of color indicate what proportion of the project each element
accounts for.
 The numbers below DVD-ROM, Slideshows, Menus, and Movies specify how much
space (in gigabytes) each uses. When you click these numbers, the display switches
to show the number of these items in your project and how many tracks they use. An
iDVD project can have up to 99 tracks.
