iDVD Overview

1

iMovie took a technology dominated by

professionals—movie editing—and made it

easy for normal people to use. In some ways,

though, iDVD is even more impressive.

Quite a lot of highly technical work goes into

creating a DVD—in the background. While

you’re focused on choosing which photo

should appear on the title page of your DVD,

iDVD handles the speciﬁcs of building the

structure necessary for most consumer DVD

players to play back your masterpiece. More

importantly, it manages the MPEG-2 com-

pression needed to cram multiple gigabytes’

worth of data onto a shiny platter the size

and shape of a regular audio CD.

iDVD also does something that no other

program can do: It gives you style. Apple has

clearly put a lot of thought into the DVD

themes that ship with iDVD, making each

one something you’d actually want to show

off to people. An iDVD project, whether you

like it or not, is polished, which goes a long

way toward making people think, “Wow, I

had no idea he was so talented.”

This chapter offers a look at iDVD’s interface

and major functions in order to give you the

foundation you’ll need for the next chapters

that deal with building projects and custom-

izing them.

HD and iDVD

iMovie can create HD movies, but don’t

expect to create a high-deﬁnition DVD for

now. Blu-ray may have won the HD for-

mat war, but currently no Macs support

burning to Blu-ray discs. (Software such

as Roxio Toast can do so, with the addi-

tion of an external Blu-ray disc burner.)

As such, iDVD does not support Blu-ray

either.

In the meantime, iDVD imports HD

projects with ease and converts them into

widescreen DV format. True, it’s not the

same as seeing the picture at high-deﬁni-

tion quality, but it’s a start.
