2] - iDrops Motion Menus for iDVD
iDrops are 'alternative' motion menus for iDVD. There are iDrops that are outrageous, funny, and even anaglyphic 3D (6 pair of red/green glasses are included with that set), so there's bound to be something to please almost everyone. One of the lesser used features of iDVD is the ability to create a 'folder' which can then be assigned a different motion menu. Several iDrops have been designed in sets so that it's easy to make use of this feature. Make DVDs you enjoy watching over and over again.
