iDVD: Wrong music after switching users

After switching to a new user and creating a new iDVD 5 project, the background music in the project may not get updated. Instead, you can end up with the music from the previous user's project—even if you choose new audio for the new project.

You can avoid this by doing the following steps while still logged in to the first account:

  1. Quit iDVD and go to the Finder.
  2. From the Go menu, choose Go to Folder.
  3. In the resulting dialog, type /tmp and click Go.
  4. From the tmp folder window, drag the file "tempmovie.mov" to the Trash.

You can now switch to a new user and create your DVD project.

This issue does not occur in iDVD 6, part of iLife ’06.
