Importing Files

Importing video and chapter markers from an iMovie should be done preferentially using iMovie.  See the iMovie tutorial for more details. 

It is possible to import other movies into iDVD.  One only need go to the File menu then to Import then to Video

Importing Video creates an editable button on the menu that can be used to play the video.  In this way multiple videos can be put on one DVD.  

Using this menu for Audio, Image, and Background Video imports the media for use in the background of the DVD menu.

Clicking on the Slideshow button is a separate option for importing photos.  It creates an editable button on the menu that once clicked displays the images in a slideshow format.  It is possible to add sound and change the duration of each image in the slideshow.  Adding a slideshow can be done in addition to film and data.
