Help. It's Tuesday night and I have to present this DVD at my aunt's memorial on Sunday. I spent a week editing photos to music in iMovie and now I have burned two days wrangling with this DVD issue to no avail.
I have read the iDVD '08 tutorial pdf. I have an iDVD project created. I chose the iMovie I made for the DVD. I chose the theme. I want to give the main menu a basic title, no submenus, nothing else. But the tutorial says that to add text, "Make sure that the project’s main menu is open, and then choose Project > Add Text." Whenever I click Project > Add Text, the "click to edit text" box that is supposed to appear does not appear. I have worked on this for hours, clicking on the three bottom center buttons and then trying Project > Add Text, or clicking Themes, Buttons and Media and trying it, but I never get a box in which to edit text.
In addition, whatever theme I choose, it does not appear in my main screen either. The screen remains black. The screen does change size, widescreen or normal, as if it is trying to display the theme, but nothing else. I have trashed the .plist file several times, run Disk Utility to repair permissions several times, run AppDelete to delete all iDVD files, reinstalled iDVD, restarted the computer several times. Something is preventing the theme from appearing on screen and allowing me to edit title text. I find no evidence online of this having ever happened to anyone else.
I am running OX 10.5.6 on an Intel Mac with plenty of room.
