No, I didn't, I'd rather have a tool that I can say:

	create_dvd file.mpg

and have it do all the work, since I have no clue how to convert/massage
the .mpg files into the correct ISO format to be burned onto the DVD.
So, telling me to set up an .xml file assume that I know what to put in
the .xml file (which I do not know).

But, I will play with your example and see if I get anywhere.
