First of all, forget most of those command-line options to
dvdauthor—they are there for legacy reasons, before the XML control
file was introduced. There are just two options you need: -x to specify
the XML control file, and -o to specify the output directory.

Anything like “WARN: Skipping sector, waiting for first VOBU”? That’s a
sign the input movie file was not properly multiplexed.

The absolute simplest XML file for a disc with a single title that will
automatically start playing when it is put in the player would be
something like

<dvdauthor>
    <vmgm />
    <titleset>
        <titles>
            <pgc>
                <vob file="ElaborateDesign.mp2" />
            </pgc>
        </titles>
    </titleset>
</dvdauthor>
