First, I set up and mofidied the script slightly, made sure the appropriate packages were installed, then ran it. I set up a basic dvd.xml file, created the DVD files, and burned the DVD. It worked - mostly. What was interesting is that while the DVD seems to have copied, the aspect ratio was off. While the original disk was in 16:9, the copy plays in full-screen. Clearly I've missed something here, since the dvdauthor output clearly stated it was in 16:9 format. Any thoughts? I'd hate to screw up my home movies, etc, when doing this.
