Please take a look at the manual. This is all covered.

briefly; using the explorer window, drag your MPEG-2 file (or AVI file) onto your menu. The default is to give you a thumbnail and text below that. Click on the text, hit f2 and then type whatever text you want.

That should get you started.

Oh my...

Go to google.com and search for " DVD Architect tutorial". You should be able to find tons of websites to get you started. Start with the basics and move up.

I'm guessing you didn't try this yourself? :)

35 results, 17 of which are "excluded" by default 'cause they're just duplicates of the other 18. And of the 18 that are left, most are either other search engines linked to other search engines linked to [ad infintium]. When you get down to it, among those results is one single tutorial. For DVDA 1.0.

True, it's sufficient enough to get someone started, but it's not exactly a "ton." And it's outdated. (No offense to its author BillyBoy -- I realize he has a new site going up or already up. But it doesn't appear to come up in Google searches.)

(Okay, actually, there is one other DVDA1 tutorial in the results, but the site requires paid membership.)

The manual would be a much better place to start.
