Using the iDVD remote control

The remote control you use to test your DVD in preview mode works like a standard remote control that comes with most DVD players. It has basic controls you use to play, pause, and adjust the volume of your DVD.

Click the Preview button (shown below) at the bottom of the iDVD window to access the remote control.

Here is how you use the iDVD remote control:

Use your pointer to click the arrow buttons and the Enter button in the remote control (shown below) to select buttons in a menu.

Use the right and left arrow buttons to navigate through the slides in a viewer-controlled slideshow (one that does not advance automatically) or the chapters in a movie.

Hold down the left arrow button to rewind and the right arrow button to fast-forward a movie.

Use the Menu button to return to the last menu you visited.

Use the Title button to return to the main menu of your project.

If you click Menu or Title while watching a movie or slideshow, you can click Menu to go back to the movie or slideshow at the point where you left off.
