spumux button row spacing and play-once-only intro video

Hi,

I have prepared my first DVD with dvdauthor and everything works, however
it needs a little finesse.

On the resulting menu from spumux the 'select' areas are spaced farther
apart than I have them placed in the png. So menu position 1 at the top,
the 'select' image is much farther away from the underlying image, spacing
gradually decreases with each menu item down the list, then begins to
increase in the other direction. I have a feeling this might have to do
with 'outlinewidth'... but perhaps I'd be better off explicitly defining
the menu button positions instead of using 'auto' ?

<subpictures format="NTSC">
<stream>
<spu force="yes" start="00:00:00.00" transparent="Black"
image="msarkdvd01-blank.png" select="msarkdvd01-reg.png"
highlight="msarkdvd01-hi.png" autooutline="infer" autoorder="rows"
outlinewidth="18">
</spu>
</stream>
</subpictures>

Also, I would like to play the intro video the first time the disc is
inserted, but then skip the intro video when the user returns the to main
menu. I think I remember seeing an example like this in the manual but I
can't seem to find it at the moment.

<dvdauthor dest="DVD">

Any help / suggestions much appreciated.
