I'm starting to use iDVD to create Virtual Proofs for my weddings, and have broken the event down into chapters (ie-Pre-Ceremony, Ceremony, Reception, Formals, etc.).
When I dropped the jpegs into the slideshow menu, it maxes out at 99.
Does anyone know a way around this?
It seems like I always get so far...and then something bursts my bubble.

This is actually a problem with the DVD format, it will only allow 99 sub items for each item. However, I believe that you can have another layer of menus (three deep -> 99*99*99 items).

Another way of doing it would be to make a movie in iMovie with all of your images. They would only be stored in the movie, but you could then get as many as you wanted in the single item.

So, make a movie by dropping in each image in the squares on the right, and then slide the movie bar to fit the music?
Then save as a movie and drop that into the iDVD screen. Each chapter of the wedding is a movie?

That would work well too. I've done this. If you want you can then add fancy cross dissolves into it and put music to it.
