Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding which would be the best app to use for my purpose. Im new to both apps, Idvd and Imovie. Ive used windows apps In the past and then burned the movie to dvd with a majority of programs that would give me the best menu templates etc. What im trying to do now is different. I have a friend who made a dvd of his daughter using idvd and a template from 6.0, (shelves I believe). He was able to click on a thumbnail and it played one long movie but it would pause after a couple movies, go back to the main shelves template, go to the next thumbnail and play that. There also different transitions in between etc. Im assuming it did this, he may have been conrolling the dvd with the remote, cant remember.
Here is my question. I dont need to make a big file such as in imovie. I already have the clips I just want to insert, determine how much of the clip I want to use and then use chapters if needed. Cant idvd do all that? Do I have to make the movie with all clips in order and transitions etc, then export to idvd? It seems like a lot of extra work can I achieve everything with idvd, and just have it play all after the first thumbnail? I just need it to be able to trim each clip to use what I want however at the same time hopefully it wouldnt save the extra portions of the clip behind each clip I trim, therefore increasing the file size of the dvd?
Thank you
