You could print a chapter menu guide to accompany the DVD in which you describe each chapter in some detail. The thumbnail images in the Scene menu are selected by Toast and can't be changed.

When Scene menus are included, playing a Title automatically opens the Scene menu where the viewer has to click on the first chapter to start playing the movie from the beginning. I think there are about a dozen chapters shown per menu page and this can't be modified. The optional Scene menu pages are thumbnails (or digits only with text menu styles). Toast automatically puts up to six titles on a menu page when using a style that has a thumbnail. You can select the maximum number of titles that appear on a menu page in the window for customizing the menu. When you increase the number of titles that are on each menu page, the number of lines of text decreases. Toast allows up to three lines of text with each title and you can custom select the video frame that is shown in the thumbnail image. When you add a video to the Toast window you've created a Title. The only thing I'm uncertain about is if the installer works. Yes, the mounted disc image appears with DVD Player the same as it appears when played from the disc on your TV.

To save wasting DVD media I gues I should produce a DVD image and see what it looks like in the software DVD player on the Mac but does it reflect what I would see on a DVD disc player?

Now I guess I am confused about titling etc. I am on 10.8.3 so iLife etc is not an option that I can tell. You might also go to and search for "DVD authoring". If you have an earlier OS you can find it at know what I. I have an application called CaptyDVD 2 that supports text in chapters but it doesn't work in OS 10.7 or 10.8. While Apple no longer sells iDVD it is included in the boxed iLife sets from the past. I believe iDVD supports text with chapters. Maybe you should use something other than Toast for this project. If you have an earlier OS you can find it at You might also go to and search for "DVD authoring". If the idea is that the thumbnail image that marks the chapters in the Scene menu displays the still photo-with-text from iMovie, it will appear very small so it won't be very readable. Thank you for you quick reply Edited by Rxiotrainman The viewer will have to go back to the main menu to select the chapter they want to view but at least, I think, it won't be WAGing which chapter to select. In iMovie, before "sharing to mediabrowser" I am going to add a still picture as a chapter with the chapter number and titles. In any case, I going to try the following. I guess I am just learning how limited this expensive piece of software really is. Toast was designed from the get-to to have very basic menu information. If you mean Toast adding the ability to create descriptive scene menus, I'm confident that won't happen. I don't know what you mean by Toast adding the edit feature. Toast was designed from the get-go to have very basic menu information. You also could create a DVD that has one title which is the entire movie and additional titles that are individual chapters. The downside to this is there is a slight pause (freeze frame) when the DVD player moves from the end of one title to the start of the next. If chapter descriptions are critical then I suggest splitting the movie into multiple titles and mark the continuous play checkbox. If this covers up the text you can change the text color to make it appear against the background. You mention customizing the screen so I'm guessing you dropped in a different background. Apparently you're using one of the text-only menu styles. When you say the first chapter is a black screen I don't get how there is only one chapter on that screen. There are multiple chapters shown on each menu page when including the Scene menu. Is it possible to create a screen in some format in which I can list the chapter number and text so the viewer can select a chapter and know what they will be seeing (until such time as Roxio adds the edit feature)? The chapter 0 that precedes the 1st video chapter is blank (black screen). I am using a customize menu screen that does not display thumbnails.
