Images won't appear in Drop Zones

This has been bugging me for a while now. I am trying to create an easy to use/burn presentation platform for a recent group trip I went on. I'd like to eventually be able to burn copies to a DVD so that others may have a copy of our adventure. At first I was going to just create a slideshow using iDVD, when I came into these troubles I switched to using iMovie to create a slideshow with the music I want and the transitions I want. That still leaves the embellishment portion of it. I don't want the menus to look boring.

What I am finding to be troublesome is that I try to import images from iPhoto into iDVD and they some times, more often than not, will not appear in the drop zones on the larger screen. They will show in the editor but not above. I've tried changing themes, same thing. I have also tried to bypass iPhoto by importing the images I want into the drop zones by using the File>Import>Image... route.

Please, any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

I'm running on a Mac OS X v10.6.8 with 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

The iDVD is version 7.1.1

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

hi there, I am confused when you stated you cant "import images from iPhoto into iDVD" .

The way I get photos into the drop zones is to drag the photos from the media browser on the right hand side of the screen. I don't "import" .. unless I'm misinterpreting the use of that term. here is my idvd project and note on the bottom right hand side I've clicked Media. Then I click Photos on the top and it shows me all my photos. Thats where I drag and drop FROM.

Note you can also drag and drop photos from a finder window. The only time I have issues is if my photo is a landscape and I'm trying to stick it into a box that is portrait and vice-versa.

does this help at all?
