My wife is moderately addicted to several
home decorating shows on TV, the ones
where a designer takes over a room and the
homeowners marvel at the transformation
(okay, so maybe I’ve watched a few, too). It’s
amazing what a new window treatment and
a fresh coat of paint can do to a room.
You might think that iDVD themes are noth-
ing more than curtains to dress up your mov-
ies, but that would diminish the possibilities
that a DVD theme offers. A theme gives your
movie character, but more importantly, it
provides a framework for the movie and
other related media. Your DVD can contain
several movies, slideshows of digital still
photos, music, and animation.
In this chapter, I’ll cover the basics of choos-
ing one of iDVD’s pre-made themes and
working with its integrated elements, such as
drop zones, motion menus, and editing text.
In the next chapter, I’ll get into the specifics
of customizing a theme and tailoring it to
your own tastes. Like decorating an other-
wise functional room, working with iDVD
themes can add some flair to the presenta-
tion of your movie.
