DVD Authoring

Not very fleshed out.

A bit more descriptive.

The key thing is the XML (XML-ish really) file that describes the dvd
structure, e.g:

---
<dvdauthor dest="DVD">

    <vmgm>
    </vmgm>

    <titleset>
        <menus>
        </menus>
        <titles>
            <pgc>
                <vob file="t.mpg" />
            </pgc>
        </titles>
    </titleset>

</dvdauthor>

Then you run "dvdauthor -x dvd.xml" and you get a DVD/ directory with
VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS and all that properly done.  It is this directory
that you burn.  Obviously this very simple example will have the single
video "t.mpg" on the disc.

For things like menus and subtitles you'll have to make your own
graphics and such... it might just be easier to make video 1 = chapter 1
and so on and skip thru them with the ffwd button.

HTH,
