I tried to create a DVD directory hierarchy out of a video 
(ElaborateDesign.mp2).

Well, it belched out a whole bunch warnings, and died with a memory fault,
and created an incomplete video_ts directory. To wit:

$ ls -lR ElaborateDesign.DVD/
ElaborateDesign.DVD/:
total 8K
drwxr-xr-x 2 jd jd 4096 Nov  1 15:59 AUDIO_TS/
drwxr-xr-x 2 jd jd 4096 Nov  1 16:03 VIDEO_TS/

ElaborateDesign.DVD/AUDIO_TS:
total 0K

ElaborateDesign.DVD/VIDEO_TS:
total 3067792K
-rw-r--r-- 1 jd jd 1073709056 Nov  1 16:01 VTS_01_1.VOB
-rw-r--r-- 1 jd jd 1073709056 Nov  1 16:03 VTS_01_2.VOB
-rw-r--r-- 1 jd jd  990920704 Nov  1 16:05 VTS_01_3.VOB

This dvd dir hierarchy would not play if I burned it to media.

So, here is how I invoked dvdauthor:

$ dvdauthor -t /dev/null -o ElaborateDesign.DVD  -f ElaborateDesign.mp2

You are probably asking: why -t /dev/null

If I do not supply the -t option, it will not run. It says:

$ dvdauthor -o ElaborateDesign.DVD  -f ElaborateDesign.mp2
DVDAuthor::dvdauthor, version 0.6.18.
Build options: gnugetopt graphicsmagick iconv freetype fribidi
Send bugs to <dvdauthor-users-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org>

ERR:  Must first specify -t, -m, or -x.

I have no idea what to provide for a -t option, nor -m nor -x.
I just want to create a dvd out of this mp2 file.
How do I accomplish that?

Thank for your help.
