I've only had my iMac for a few weeks and today is the first time that I've had the time to play around with iMovie, iDVD and iPhoto and, although I'm not a huge fan of iPhoto (long time Photoshop user) I really like the way they all integrate with each other and the results they produce.
However I'm a little confused as to which program or programs I should use to produce the following.
I want to produce a DVD that will play back on my TV's DVD player and that has a menu system (I like some of the themes that come with iDVD) that contains links to various photo slideshows. i.e. you put the DVD in the drive and in brings up an animated menu which allows you to select which slideshow you want to view.
Each slideshow I want to have background music. For this particular DVD it just needs to be background music (no sync required) but in the future I will also want to be able to sync up transitions/slide changes to beats in the music.
Maybe it's just because my coffee hasn't kicked in but many of these programs seem to offer similar features but I don't think there is one program that can do the whole thing in one go and I'm not sure which combination of programs will produce the best results or the best way of doing it.
Any help/advice/tips greatly appreciated.
