| iPhoto can send a set of photos to iDVD 5 to create a DVD slideshow that can be viewed on any TV with a DVD player. You must have a Macintosh with a SuperDrive to burn such a slideshow to disc. To create a DVD slideshow with iDVD: 1. | Select one or more albums or slideshows ( - or  -click to select multiple items), and choose Send to iDVD from the Share menu.
iPhoto works for a bit, launches iDVD, and shows the iDVD main screen with pre-built iDVD slideshows.
| 2. | Click the Themes button, choose a theme, and customize it with text and images (Figure 5.18).
Figure 5.18. Select a theme for your DVD slideshow in the Themes pane; switch to the Media pane to drop photos or movies into the drop zones. 
| 3. | To add audio, photos, or video to the main title screen, click the Media button, choose Audio, Photos, or Movies, and drag items to drop zones.
| 4. | Double-click a slideshow icon to switch to a screen where you can add, delete, and rearrange photos (only for the album-based slideshows), plus set a slide transition, select music, and set other options for the slideshow (Figure 5.19).
