Excellent description of the structure of iDVD allowing the user easily to understand what functions are included and what are not.

I found the tutorial very informative. Good and clear explained. I intend to use iDVD now much more intensive as I did before.
A great tutorial

Just like the prior version, this one is full of info. Each piece of information is broken out to it's own movie. Lots of little movies instead of grinding through a ten minute (2-3 times) movie or stopping and going back over and over it's like educational pop-corn. Because the movies are short the instructors voice doesn't lull you to sleep either. Visually it's not boring with just enough action on the screen. Getting the MPV news email also gets me coupons on a regular basis and I really appreciate that-yes even at the reasonable price of $19.50- Every bit helps. Keep at it everything's looking great.
