About using special characters in a DVD name

Some keyboard characters (such as $ or &) cannot be used in the name of a DVD. (“Name” refers to the name you give the DVD disc, not the title of the iDVD project.) The only characters that can be used are the numbers from 0 to 9, the uppercase and lowercase characters A to Z, and the underscore (_) for spaces. Lowercase letters are saved as uppercase.

If you include any other characters in the disc’s name, they are ignored. If you include spaces in a disc’s name, they are replaced with underscore characters (for example, “My Disc” becomes “MY_DISC”).
