iDVD Icon

If a button on a menu doesn’t link to anything

When you drag a movie, slideshow, or folder of images to the iDVD menu, a button with the file or folder name is created automatically for the content you’re adding. This button links to the correct content when you click it. However, when you use the Add button (shown below) in the iDVD window to add a slideshow or movie, only a placeholder button is added to the menu. This button doesn’t link to anything until you drag content to it.

To link a button to content:

Step 1

Drag the movie, slideshow, or folder of images from the Media pane, or elsewhere on your hard disk or on a connected server, to the button you created on the DVD menu.

Step 2

Drop the file when you see a green circle with a plus sign.

iDVD does not allow you to drop the wrong kind of file onto a button. For example, you can’t drag a slideshow onto a button created for a movie.

When you have added a movie button but have not yet linked a movie to it, the button appears in the menu with a yellow warning icon. This warning icon shows in map view as well. When you add a slideshow button that has no slideshow linked to it, a red warning icon appears in map view indicating that the slideshow is empty.
