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.
