Chapter 4: Create

4.6Preview Area

The preview area shows you how your DVD menu will appear. You can also use it to play your DVD. When you do, a virtual remote control appears, letting you navigate through the DVD menu in the same way that you would on your TV.

This virtual remote control lets you use the preview area as a TV. The remote control varies depending on the project type (DVD or VCD). When creating a DVD, arrow buttons let you navigate over menus. When creating a VCD, the bulk of the remote control is a number pad. Each number corresponds to a specific chapter thumbnail on the current menu screen. For example, if you only have four thumbnails, only numbers 1-4 on the remote control will work.

Depending on where you are in the Create module, different options in the preview area may be available:

Click here to remove the video file (chapter) from the DVD.

Click this button to select another image to use as the menu background.

Click this button to create a menu within the current menu.

Click here to create a slideshow.
