DVD Author, there are some howto's for it on the web, including on on the gentoo forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=117709 I don't know how that menu works, but if anyone knows which file contains it, we might be able to edit that bit. If anyone knows how to create the "dvd-author" xml-config-files from an existing DVD, I'm sure, with some clever scripting, we can amend that particular flag. It is in my todo-list, but it doesn't have a very high priority at the moment. -- Joost
