I created 2 iDVD projects a while ago, neither very big. I now want to put both onto one DVD. Size is not an issue, plenty of room. I found the "project" files in my movie folder, and used Toast 8 to copy them to a DVD. Did not work. One project came up on my tv screen, but there was no way to navigate. Apparently the files are not the right type. The original DVD's played just fine. So, what am I doing wrong? How do I get these two onto a DVD?

While I am at it, wondering if I need to keep the slideshows that I created to make the original projects. They are all still living in my movie folder as well. Or are they aliases that iDVD needs in order to do its thing? Would like to save the room, but also want to (sometimes) burn the projects to give to family members.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Mary

You'll need to import the movie files from both into a new iDVD project and create a menu system so you can access all the clips.

You can't just dump two DVD images on one disk.

Thanks, I'll give that a try! What about the old slideshow files? Needed? Not??
