Learning a new technology can be an intimidating prospect, even when the tools are as straightforward as Apple's iDVD 3. If you've been hesitating to take the step into DVD production, wait no more—there's no gentler approach than that offered by Peachpit's best-selling "Little" book series and noted Mac columnist Bob ("Dr. Mac") LeVitus. In The Little iDVD Book, Second Edition Bob helps you conquer your fears and get down to the exciting business of creating interactive DVDs with iDVD 3 and Apple's tightly integrated iLife applications, iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie. Through jargon-free language and step-by-step instructions, he shows you how to share movies, music, and pictures on DVD. In these pages, you'll learn about all the features that are new to this version of iDVD, including the dozens of new menu "themes"; support for iMovie chapter markers, which lets viewers skip quickly from scene to scene; automatic creation of Scene Selection menus; as well as how you can access iTunes and iPhoto libraries directly from within iDVD. And if you're interested in using iDVD software to archive or share other data (such as AppleWorks, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files), you'll find that info as well.

Not a technical Manual, an easy read that is a quick study,
By
This review is from: The Little iDVD Book (Paperback)
iDVD is pretty easy to start with, but this book goes into just enough detail to help you get the most out of the software. It helps not only with iDVD, but it offers advice on iPhoto and iMovie, so that you have the best quality contents for your creation. I enjoyed it because it gets you results without taking weeks to read. I was able to improve my usage of iDVD from the first chapter.

Great intorduction to iDVD,
By
This review is from: The Little iDVD Book (Paperback)
A great book for the less than computer proficient in getting started using iDVD. Easy to read and instructiuonal at the same time, it gives straight forward and easy to follow directions to be successful in using iDVD with a minimum of hassle, but at the same time enough depth to make it understandable. Well worth the price.

An informative little book. Quick read. You would have to be new to Mac in order to get something from every chapter. Oh yes, I'm new to Mac!
