Did you get dvdauthor from your distribution, from the Sourceforge
release, or from the darcs repository?

The Debian package includes a patch I made which will add transparency
to the palette if it's not already included and if there's a spare
palette entry.  I don't remember whether this adds to the reported
number of colours.

Is this an issue?  Have you tried increasing the colour map to 4 colours
yet?

This isn't the version number of dvdauthor/spumux but of one of the
libraries spumux uses.
