Thanks. I found out the file is 352 x 480; is that going to be a problem,
or will dvdauthor recode it to a standard DVD resolution?

Do you know an editor that'll read an MPEG2 file? kino wouldn't. I'd love
to trim out the intro, outro and ads, unless dvdauthor's chapter structure
can be rigged so they're not shown.
