No, I didn't, I'd rather have a tool that I can say: create_dvd file.mpg and have it do all the work, since I have no clue how to convert/massage the .mpg files into the correct ISO format to be burned onto the DVD. So, telling me to set up an .xml file assume that I know what to put in the .xml file (which I do not know). But, I will play with your example and see if I get anywhere. -- Kevin J.
