I excerpted the following from your attachment: [begin]DVD Mastering With DVBcut, you need an extra tool, such as DVDflick <http://www.dvdflick.net/> (also free) to combine the various episodes, to add an optional selection menu and to burn the resulting directory structure to your DVD. If you are happy to use command-line tools, dvdauthor and mkisofs are very fast and efficient alternatives. Either: dvdauthor -t -o {film} {part1}.mpg [{part2}.mpg] [...] dvdauthor -o {film} -T or, using the template XML script file output by DVBcut: dvdauthor -x {film}.xml followed by: mkisofs -dvd-video -o {film}.iso {film} gives an ISO file you can then burn to DVD.[end] My 0.6.18 version of dvdauthor's man page says nothing about the -x option. Nevertheless, I tried using the -x syntax and the xml file generated by dvbcut's #4 export option "DVD-Video titleset (dvdauthor)" thus: dvdauthor -o outputlocation -x filename.xml -t "Name of the Recording" which produced the following output: DVDAuthor::dvdauthor, version 0.6.18. Build options: gnugetopt imagemagick iconv freetype fribidi Send bugs to <dvdauthor-us...@lists.sourceforge.net> ERR: Unknown XML node type 10 Dropping the -t option produced no difference in result. I looked on http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net/ and Googled without finding any explanation for that message. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
