Send Photos to iDVD


If you have a SuperDrive in your Mac (a drive that can read and write DVDs), you can send a selection of photos to the iDVD application to make a DVD slideshow, which you can then burn to a DVD. Because DVDs can hold so much data (4.3 gigabytes), you can put lots of slideshows in one DVD project. To learn more about iDVD, see Chapter 4.

To send photos to iDVD

1.

Open iDVD, then select a "Theme" from the iDVD Customize drawer (see Chapter 4 for detailed iDVD instructions).

2.

Go back to iPhoto. From the "Source" pane, select an album, a collection of photos from an album, or a slideshow that you created.

3.

From the Share menu, choose "Send to iDVD."

4.

The photos are transferred to iDVD, which automatically creates a menu with a title and a menu button that links to a slideshow of your photos. If you transferred an iPhoto slideshow or an album, the iDVD slideshow button picks up the name from iPhoto. You can customize the iDVD menu in all sorts of ways, change the design theme, the font style, the music, the slide duration, and more (see Chapter 4).

5.

Click the iDVD slideshow button to preview your slideshow in iDVD.

6.

Click the "Burn" button in the lower-right corner of the iDVD window to burn the slideshow to a DVD. Or save the project so you can work on it later when you have more content to add (more slideshows from iPhoto or movies from iMovie).
