i have taken up the large task of compiling a Year Disc, basically a collections of mainly photos, a few movies etc highligting the best bits of the year. I showed a iDVD project i did not yet burnt to my principal and he liked it but he wanted more navigational options. Such as having a button on every menu/screen which points back to the main menu or top menu. i know you can do that with the DVD player controls but he wants it on the screen because we will be having grandparents and less compter-literate people viewing the Disc
So:
1) is there an option for hyperlinks like you can have in Keynote/PPT. If not built in are there any plug-ins/hacks to enable this? I only have iDVD 5 so I'm not too sure if the function is in iDVD 6 (waiting on the MacBook!).
2) When navigating through the disc in Preview mode it seems pretty slow. I'm guessing it will be faster on the actual Disc. Is this true?
3) has any one had any problems im playing these on PC's? i would hate to do 6 months of work only to find out it doesn't work (obviously ill test run it half way through)
4) In regards to the 'TV Safe Area' How accurate is that, it will look really bad if it does show the shaded area and all the buttons are in the centre.
sorry for the multitude of questions - but i need some help - this is a big project and i need to know what i can and can't do!
Thanks in advance
