    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Hey everyone :) Just a quick question:

In iDVD, can you insert your own animated menu's like some of the example menu's are? I know you can insert still images but for my project i would like a custom made animated menu. If so what format does it have to be in? Macromedia Flash, Director?

Kind Regards,

Chris, :mac:

Im not 100% sure, but I think you can make your own images in photoshop and import them into idvd and have it animate it for you, or you can use dvdstudio pro3.

animation to insert

Hey there
A little late. After Effects is a good program to try for animation. A good book that I am reviewing is called After Effects Photoshop animation and production effects for DV and FILM.

exporting to SWF

There is a great tutorial for exporting to SWF in p.94 95 and P. 141 in the book How to Wow Photoshop for the Web by Kabili and Smith (fantastic and well done book).
I have it reviewed BTW at my site at
http://www.maccompanion.com/archives/november2004/books/HowtoWow.html
I recommend this book at anyone wanting to do SWF and photoshop book- It is one of the best I have seen in many years

FILE>EXPORT>MacCROMEDIA FLASH SWFExpoert dialog box choose the following setting and click ok
make sure preserve appearance is unchecked
check generate HTML which tells Imageready to create an HTML file with code to display your SWF in a web browser
Leave other options at their default

Hope that helps
