Hello Ian,
Thanks for replying.

Yes, I knew of that, but it also failed with the same 4GB message.

Your wager would be correct as the properties show it to be an mpeg2 file.

OK, normally do use dvdauthor.

Don't understand this instruction. What is this doing, calling up the
script?
Don't have a mydvd.xml script yet. Ummm...Am I just dumb or ignorant?
Soooo, blundering onward, I took your following sample script...

> </pgc>
> </titles>
> </titleset>
> </dvdauthor>
> EOF
And, I made a new dvd.xml script reflecting the above and named it mydvd.xml
> $ dvdauthor -x mydvd.xml
OK, This is where it fails. I just get a huge long list of repeated WARN:
Skipping sector, Waiting for first VOBU.....until it times out 10 minutes
later.
It does populate the DVD directory though, with the Audio & Video_TS files
with nothing in them.
This is where I was when I tried to do this previously, and before I
attempted
to burn the iso directly, which then prompted me to post my question about
growisofs.
> $ growisofs -dvd-compat -overburn -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video DVD/
Hopefully I will eventually be able to use this command.

Thanks Ian, Appreciate your help.

Just a suggestion here, but what about using the dd command to create an iso
and then burning that iso to the DVD? I know this works for data, but not so
sure about a movie.
