I've tried running it as user, I've tried running it in the directory 
above, "Movies" which contains the mpeg file and nothing-same error.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.
Brian

PS-contents of the Movies directory:

DVD  dvdauthor.xml  dvd_Grave_of_the_Fireflies.mpg


Not sure why you need sudo to run dvdauthor, but that's your business...
Run the command under strace to find out where it's looking for the
file:

 strace -f dvdauthor -x dvdauthor.xml

It doesn't look to me like you are in the Movies/ directory, where the 
dvdauthor.xml appears to reside.
In which case the error you get makes sense :)

all the best,

If this is your command, I don't think it is correct.  I believe it should be 
(-x dvd.xml) and you don't need a directory.   dvdauthor will build one for 
you with (dvdauthor -o output -x dvd.xml)  Creating the directory output 
where your results will be found.

Did you create your dvd.xml file correctly?  Post a copy of your dvd.xml file

End of transcode-users Digest, Vol 20, Issue 27
***********************************************

Thanks for all of the responses-I'm very grateful. Mike Urig read my post and responded directly. I did not have my dvdauthor.xml file correctly configured was the only problem. I didn't understand the tutorial enough to properly edit the example file and once I did so everything went fine-My first DVD!
Thanks again to all of you.
Brian
