Could you compare the output of your "filename.xml" with the dvbcut's on-screen output for options #1 or #2? They should look similar (even identical) and be recognisable XML scripts. I tend to assemble my DVDs from a composite XML file describing a collection of broadcast and edited episodes so don't often use Ralph's direct piping to dvbauthor. -- David Coe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ DVBCUT-user mailing list DVBCUT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dvbcut-user
