If you "hover" (hold your cursor over the yellow triangle), you will see a message probably saying "Menu Contains No Buttons" or "Add Title Menu" A DVD has to have a Menu (if you go back to my original instructions explaining this). > > 3.

What should I have done? Have you used iDVD before to create a DVD? Have you setup the Preferences > Projects to - Video Mode: PAL, Encoding: Professional Quality, DVD Type: Single-Layer (SL)-4.2GB Then set your project to Aspect Ratio: either 4:3 or Widescreen (16:9)? If not I think we need to start this project from scratch. One thing that has been bothering me is WHY did you used Keynote to create a Slideshow of photos that you obviously already have in iPhoto? Why didn't you create an Album of the photos in iPhoto and then iPhoto can send the set of photos to iDVD to create a DVD slideshow that can be viewed on any TV with a DVD player. I'm knocking off for the day now. I will send you "off List" a text document with screenshots of what you should be seeing in your iDVD Project. Map View, Project Info, & Creating your DVD. If you can't work out (after seeing the screenshots) how to use your Keynote Slideshow in iDVD from following my original instructions & Rod's, post back to WAMUG with where you are failing or not understanding our instructions and we will try to help you. I will be in and out tomorrow with clients, but will try to assist when possible.
