I tried it. Here's what I get:

cat > dvdauthor.xml << 'EOF'
<dvdauthor>
<vmgm />
<titleset>
<titles>
<pgc>
<vob file="ElaborateDesign.mp2" />
</pgc>
</titles>
</titleset>
</dvdauthor>
EOF
dvdauthor -x dvdauthor.xml -o ElaborateDesign.DVD -f ElaborateDesign.mp2

DVDAuthor::dvdauthor, version 0.6.18.
Build options: gnugetopt graphicsmagick iconv freetype fribidi
Send bugs to <[email protected]>

ERR:  Must specify working directory

The dir exists:

$ ls -ld inception.DVD
drwxr-xr-x 2 jd jd 4096 Nov  1 18:58 ElaborateDesign.DVD/

So, is there something else I am missing?
