You probably need to re-multiplex them with mplex or tcmplex to add the VOBU navigation packets and then assemble them into DVD format with dvdauthor. You can split them with tcextract (from transcode) or mpeg2desc (from dvdauthor). If you don't want menus and subtitles then you can avoid messing with the XML and just use: dvdauthor -o for each title set you want, and dvdauthor -o -T to add the basic root menu structure. With one title set this leaves a DVD that most (all ?) DVD players will just play. It's all easier to do than it is to explain :) -- C:>WIN | Directable Mirror Arrays The computer obeys and wins. | A better way to focus the sun You lose and Bill collects. | licences available see | http://www.sohara.org/
