I asked on the dvdauthor mailing list. The answer there is the XML file is
improper format for dvdauthor, needing to be <!DOCTYPE dvbauthor> instead of
<!DOCTYPE dvbcut>. No way from looking at the dvdauthor man page for me to
figure out the difference.

To me, big difference:
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/dvbcut-xmloutput.txt
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/dvbcut-exportwindow-menu1.txt

Note there seems other trouble. VLC (1.2.0-git) pretends to play the content
in the .mpg dir created by dvbcut export menu option 5, but it's audio only.
When I export with dvbcut menu options 1 or 2, VLC does the same playback
imitation as with the option 5 result. If I try menu options 3 or 4, dvbcut
just exits.

Then again, the #1 menu option .mpg does play (jerky) in Kaffeine, and has no
way I can see to skip to next/previous chapter to test if chapters got
created. My STB that recorded the .TS in the first place also plays the mpeg
(over the network), and also lacks ability to skip to chapters.

Likely I'll want to do that eventually, but for the time being I just want to
be able to get some DVD resembling what's so easy to do recording an original
program source with my Pioneers DVR-460 & DVR-633 OTA or from satellite (but
with considerable quality loss).
