Hi Ralph! Many thanks. You're sitting with your hands poised over your keyboard, I think :-).

It's why I was seeing some good TS's and some bad. >> Primarily, I use each log file XML template (with its chapter list) to >> build up a composite XML input file for dvdauthor to transcribe a series >> of episodes to DVD.
