"Hi everybody! My name is Matt and I"m speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. When you start up iDVD over here on the left, as I said before, it's going to give you a little preview of what your DVD looks like. You can change the theme, as they call it, by selecting over here to the right a different theme. If you click the arrow button beside some of these selections, it'll give you even more options. To add a theme, all you have to do is double-click on one that you want to see. Some of them are going to have a different aspect ratios. If you select change, that's going to change the aspect ratio and apply the theme that you've selected. I'm going to click cancel. Go up here and select 5.0 themes. There are some themes over here that are the same aspect ratio that I have selected right now, which is 4-3. I'm just going to double-click here. Over here on the left, it's going to give you your new theme. If you hit the little man down here on the bottom left, it's going to show you what it looks like. You can select some older theme up here on the top right or you can select all to look at all the preset themes. Just because these are from older versions of iDVD, doesn't mean that they're not good. That's how you select and create a theme for your DVD."
