Depends on which version of iMovie/iDVD you are using.  Any version  
of iMovie before 5 required you to run a hack to so this trick.    
Generally, this is done in iDVD - I've posted a quote from here -

This is a mess of an URL :-(

This used to do the trick for me before I upgraded.  I still have  
Hurz and Pfurz installed at the root level of my home directory.   
Here is a better URL with step by step instructions and a link to  
download this Easter Egg.

Hope this helps.
