I was wondering if it is possible to add your own picture and music to a scene menu when burning a DVD.
The selection of title/scene menu's Toast gives, are quite lame, and I was wondering if there was a way to add my own picture, and add music to it. Or one or the other.
I know it is possible with Nero for PC's, but didn't know if it is for Toast.
Thanks,

You could do it in V6 http://danslagle.com...ithToast6.shtml

I love Toast 7, but if you want a really nice-looking DVD, why not try iDVD?

Okay, I am in the middle of using iDVD. I got everything working alright, but when I go to burn, it says the file is too big.
It tells me that the project is 4.9 gigs. So that is too big.
But I know it isn't. The movie itself is only like 1.6g, the song a few MB's. The pic is only a MB.
So what is going on? Any help?

Prior to compression, the full size DVD files are quite large. I think that about 1hr footage occupies close to 10GB.

That makes sense, but how do I compress it in iDVD? There isn't an option to do that.

When you proceed to burn the DVD, the application will do it by itself. However, if your total duration exceeds the amount of iunformation that can fit a standards disk, you would get a warning to that effect. In such a case, you would need to decide if you could trim some of the material away or split it for more than one disk.
Analogous to Popcorn or Toast that actually compresses by getting rid of the information, thereby compromising the quality, iDVD does not have such an option... as far as I know.
