To see any background movie in action or hear the theme music in a menu that supports it you must click on the Motion button. For themes, all of the themes that came with versions 2, 3 and 4 are shown here.

You can get some free sample themes here and here.

Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

thanks for the links. i know about the motion feature.

i guess what i meant was in the "map" view, there is a box that says, "Drag content here to automatically play when the disc is inserted."

In the demo/tutorial project there is something there, like curtains that move and also match the theme.

what i'm asking is where can i find that clip or feature? i have nothing in there for my themes and i'm using iDVD4. even if i use the same them the tutorial project uses, i don't have anything in there to autoplay.

any ideas?

You drag a movie from the Finder into that window for it to play automatically.

The curtain movie is located here. It's the file named "BackgroundMovie.NTSC.mov."
