Not only are these new themes more professional looking but several have motion menus which add to the over all look of the DVD. These new themes are more sophisticated than themes found in earlier versions of iDVD (older themes are still available). If you already have items on your iDVD page, Slide Shows, Folders or other movies then iDVD will place just the name of the movie, which when selected, will take you to a new page that will show 'Play Movie' and 'Scene Selection'. When there are additional submenus, iDVD will place forward and back arrows for navigation.

If your movie has more than 6 scenes (Chapter Markers) then iDVD will create additional Scene Selection submenus, with 6 scenes per page for a total of 36 scenes. In my example there are only 5 scenes, however, each submenu can hold up to 6 scenes. Clicking on Scene Selection will take you to the first Scene Selection submenu, shown below right. 'Play Movie' and 'Scene Selection', shown below left. If your iDVD page is empty when you place your movie in the iDVD interface, iDVD will add two items on the page. If you decide that you do not want Chapter Markers in your iDVD simply select 'No' and the markers will not be imported with your movie. Each time you import a movie with Chapters you will be asked. I do this so that when I import a FCP movie that has Chapters I will know that iDVD has detected the Chapters correctly. In the Movies section of Preferences, above right, "When Importing movies", I have selected 'Ask each time'.
This will ensure that when you return to your project you will not be required to re render (read re encode) your project. Uncheck 'Delete rendered files after closing a project', below left. The first thing I always do is turn off the Apple logo watermark. You are now ready to drop your FCP movie into iDVD.īefore bringing your movie into iDVD go into iDVD Preferences. In The Save dialog box set the 'Markers' drop down menu to "Chapter Markers", red arrow below.

Once you have set all your markers, set an in and out point on your Timeline and from the File menu > Export > Final Cut Pro movie. There is a limit of 36 Chapter Markers, if you use more iDVD will not accept your movie. Click okay and move your playhead to the next position and repeat the process. Leave this exactly as it is as this comment is needed for the process of embedding the chapter markers, if you change this, Chapters will not work. Next, click on the 'Add Chapter Marker' button, this will set the chapter marker and will enter "(CHAPTER)" into the comment box. In the name section enter the name of the scene remembering that this is the name that will appear in the iDVD chapter submenu in your finished DVD.
Now tap the 'm' key on the keyboard twice to set a marker and open the Edit Marker window. In FCP place your playhead at the position on the Timeline that you want to mark as the start of a scene. With Chapter Markers it is possible to move from scene to scene, via the remote control with desktop DVD players or by using the Chapter submenu that iDVD will automatically create for you when it detects chapters markers that have been set in FCP. Chapter Markers can be created in FCP, FCE and iMovie and be brought into iDVD 3, embedded in the movies.
Until now it was only possible to have Chapter Markers when working with DVD Studio Pro. Probably the most anticipated new feature is Chapter Markers which iDVD 3 now recognizes and can utilize. Some of the features that worked in iDVD 2 do not work in iDVD 3.įirst I'll take a look at the new features in iDVD 3 and then I'll detail what is not working properly. iDVD 3 shipped with several bugs that have hobbled this new version of iDVD. With new features, including Chapter Markers, a good application was going to become much better. When iDVD 3 was announced I was ecstatic. Robust and stable the only thing wanting are some new, more advanced features. Burned about 60 DVDs (Apple brand media), never a misfire during burning and the DVDs played on DVD desktop units and computers with no problems. Always keeping run time under 60 minutes, the iDVD 2 MPEG 2 encoding did an excellent job. Using their original art work for all backgrounds and buttons, it was possible to give iDVD 2 a unique look. I created DVDs for some of my customers, mostly artists.
I have been working in iDVD 2 for sometime now. It also requires a minimum of 256MB of RAM installed,
