Burning the DVD
Before you click the Burn button, make sure
you have enough hard disk space available: at
least twice the amount the project occupies.
You can view your project’s size and the free
space on the hard disk that contains your
project by choosing Project Info from the
Project menu.
To change the name of the burned disc:
1. Choose Project Info from the Project
menu, or press Command-I. The Project
Info window appears (Figure 5.9).
2.
Type a new name in the Disc Name field.
After the disc is burned, this name is
used when the DVD is mounted on a
computer’s desktop.
3. Close the window to apply the change.
To locate a missing asset:
1. Choose Project Info from the Project
menu, or press Command-I to display the
Project Info window.
2.
Scroll through the asset list to find entries
with a zero (
0
) in the Status column
(Figure 5.10).
3.
Double-click the missing asset to bring
up the Missing Files dialog.
4.
Select a file in the dialog and click the
Find File button.
5.
Locate the file and press OK. The Status
column displays a checkmark. Note that
for missing imported videos, you need to
re-link the video and audio portions (just
point to the same file).
6.
Click OK to exit the dialog.
Figure 5.9 In the Project Info window, change the name
of the disc when it’s inserted in a computer.
How to Fix Missing Assets
The Project Info dialog tracks everything
you’ve added to the project, even assets
that you’ve deleted. If the file cannot be
found, iDVD will not proceed when the
time comes to burn.
I learned this the hard way when I drag-
ged a JPEG image file to a menu back-
ground, decided it didn’t look good, and
then deleted it from the Background well
in the Menu pane. Since the image no
longer appeared in the project, I deleted
it from my hard disk.
There are two solutions:
u Double-click the item in the Project
Info window and choose another
image.
u Go to the Map view and delete the
asset entirely.
Figure 5.10 Use the Project Info window to locate
missing assets.
