iDVD

Oh, someone had an earlier post which reminded me of something. I noticed that when putting projects on DVDs, a lot of people use the generic opening menu that first comes up on iDVD. However, there is a way to put a project on a DVD that plays automatically without needing the opening menu where all you are going to do is hit play anyways. What you need to do is when you open iDVD, go to file and there should be an option in the scroll-down menu that says OneStep DVD. Just select that and it will open a finder window where you select what MOV file you want to use. It that simple, no need to waste burning time for the menu selection and other BS. You get only what you need.

burning dvd

This may be an obvious question but how do I burn my project as a just a data file onto a dvd? Does that require iDVD or is that different?

iDVD problems

Heyy fellow Fiction Field-ers! So I'm having a problem with my iDVD. After I export my file as a quicktime off Final Cut Express and drag it into iDVD it goes through all the steps but when it gets to one of the last steps it ejects the dvd. The problem is there are still steps to go when it ejects the dvd so it never fully finalizes. So frustrating! Has anyone ever had the same problem?
