Thanks! This is my first time to use iDVD and the custom thumbnail for scene selection is exactly what I was looking for. Looking good!

You were right. That fixed the problem and put the menu at the beginning. THANKS SO MUCH!

It sounds to me like your movie is in the autoplay slot. Go to the DVD map. There should be a chain of items. Select the beginning of the chain and hit delete. That should solve your problem.

Hope that helps!

The menu with “Play Movie” & “Scene Selection” is showing up at the end of my movie when I play it in my regular DVD player but not the beginning. How do I get it at the beginning? THANKS!!

Regarding Jamie’s multiplexer error – i received the same error. I’m using Final Cut Express and all was well at every checkpoint, UNTIL i tried to burn a DVD or disc image thru iDVD. It appeared to occur during the last step before burning (during the audio portion). The problem was actually a plug-in i downloaded that creates a Ken Burn’s effect on multiple frames (auto pan zoom – by PieroF).

Paul,

I’m not too familiar with iDVD’s built-in slideshow creator. Usually when I make a slideshow, I use iPhoto’s slideshow creator, which I believe gives you a lot more control. You might try that.

Hope that helps!

This is a very useful site—thanks. I’ve created a slideshow using iDVD but find on previewing it that the Comments on each photo are very large and I need to alter the font size. (Some photos are obliterated by text). I can’t find anyway of altering this. I’d be very grateful for any help. Many thanks, Paul

Thanks! Works perfectly. I never would have figured it out.

Paul4laffs,

If you’re using Final Cut, there should be an option when you do “Export using QuickTime conversion” that says something like “Still Image”. That will export the current frame (what shows in the canvas) to a still image.
