I've just been looking at dvd authoring too. Try out dvdstyler - http://www.dvdstyler.de/ - it looks pretty good, at least in concept. I haven't tried it yet. I got the idea from a Linux World Expo presentation here: http://www.greenfly.org/talks/multimedia/dvd.html not bad reading. I like the point it makes: Don't use straight dvdauthor... unless: * You really enjoy editing large XML files hand * Making complex menus * Very familiar with DVD structure I don't think that you will have to join your mpg's together, but trial and error will prove that right or wrong!
