Under the Menus tab, you have a range of choices available that you'll use
to customize the menu that appears when you put the disc in the drive.
First, pick a background for your menu. There are several built-in options
that appear in the Menu Themes list on the right side of the window.
Choose any background that you like. Next, down toward the bottom left
you'll find the Menu Settings pane. Locate the Title field and give your
disc a name. “My First DVD” is always a good choice.

Now grab a blank DVD and insert that disc into your DVD burner. Once it’s
done reading the blank disc, click on the Create button in the lower right
corner of the options window.

Rendering and Viewing

Congratulations, you've covered all of the basics! Once you press Create,
ProShow takes care of the rest. First ProShow will go through a rendering
process. This involves converting your show into a video file that will
appear on your DVD.

Once the rendering is finished, ProShow will then burn the disc and let you
know when it’s complete. Once the disc is done, pop it into your DVD player
and enjoy your first show!

In the next chapter, you’re going to learn about the three Workspaces and
in more detail. As you move beyond that, you will find in-depth information
and tips about all aspects of the program.
For now, go ahead and close your show by using the keyboard shortcut
CTRL + W, or by using the File option in the Menu Bar and selecting Close.
