   That's a great start as it got the files on the DVD as data files. I'll
have to study mkisofs to see if there's some way to build a menu of the
videos
and make it work lmore ike a commercial DVD as the people I'd like to give
this
to are completely non-technical. I just want them to put the DVD in and be
able to choose which video to watch.

   Anyway, you've been a big help. Thanks!

Cheers,
Mark
