Hey everybody! My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. If you want to go up to file and select magic iDVD. This is also selectable from the splash screen, but if I select that, it's going to take me to what they call the magic iDVD program. What this does is it does a lot of the work for you. You can choose a theme at the top. Then you can drag your movies and photos over here to the left. I'm just going to drag a couple of movies and photos over there. You can give your DVD a title at the top as well. Whenever you're done with that, select create project and it's automatically going to put together a simple project for you. This is helpful if you're not comfortable with some of the things we've done already or if you're just in a rush. It's kind of a time saver sometimes, or it just helps you get started. Whenever you're happy with your DVD, to burn it to a disc, all you have to do is make sure you have a disc in your drive. Come up to file, come down here to burn DVD, and it's going to do everything for you pretty much. Another thing you can do is if you select save as disc image, you can save your disc what they call an image, which is basically a copy on your hard drive so that you can create multiple copies of it. Burn it to DVD in the future, or even burn to a DVD using a separate program. I hope you've learned a lot and happy DVD making.
