Not a direct answer to your question, but I wasted many hours and
gazillions of cpu cycles doing this kind of thing (I used 'tovid' if it
helps) before I realized that my DVD player -- an LG -- can just play a
list of .avi files directly. In fact it also has a USB port so I don't
even need to burn a DVD :-)
