Tips:

1. You can set desired photo thumbnail on Storyboard as the Santa Claus photo slideshow thumbnail on DVD menu by right-clicking a photo thumbnail and selecting "Set as Thumbnail" in the resulting right menu. Or the first photo thumbnail would be used.

3. It's available to specify background music to your DVD menu. You can define it just under the work area in Menu tab.
