1. Open iDVD from your dock, or your applications folder (it looks like a blue DVD icon).
2. Create a new project file with your name and the title of your video submission.
3. Choose your template using the options on the right side of your screen (under the drop down box that says 7.0 Themes - you can also use 6.0 Themes if they're there).
4. There are 3 buttons in the centre on the bottom of your iDVD window. The one on the right, a dotted box with an arrow going into it, is the box that shows your "drop zones." You can enter pictures in here that will appear on your iDVD menu.
5. Double click on the text of your iDVD menu to change it - the font options will pop up here as well so that you can change the size, font, etc.
6. To add your iMovie, click the + button on the bottom left corner of your iDVD menu. Choose "add movie" and then just drag your video into that space. You can change the file name, font, size, etc. the same way as you did for your title.
7. Once your video is on your iDVD menu, click on "Buttons" (the middle button in the bottom right corner of your screen). You can choose here what button will accompany your video when you play it on your TV.
8. If you want to change the music that is playing underneath your iDVD project (you can check it by pushing play and watching how your project will appear when played on the TV), click the "i" button (beside the + button in the bottom left corner). You can then choose a different song from iTunes or elsewhere on your computer, and drag and drop it into the section where the music appears in the "i" menu screen. You can also slide the toggle over to change the duration of the music loop.
