There's one point, which may be more a problem of DVDStyler,
but also DVDAuthor behaves strange.

DVDAuthor has a problem with playlists produced by DVDStyler.
Choosing the AUTO option for the end of userdefined chapters, one gets 
in dvdauthor.xml
an empty string for the end of the chapter:

     <titles>
       <video aspect="16:9" widescreen="nopanscan"/>
       <audio lang="DE"/>
       <!--************** TITLE 1 **************-->
       <pgc>
         <vob file="C:\dvd\tmp\\dvd-cache\entry002.vob" chapters="0:00,10:00,20:00,30:00,40:00,50:00,1:00:00,1:10:00,1:20:00,1:30:00"/>
         <post>if (g0==1) jump title 2;call menu entry root;</post>
       </pgc>
       <!--************** TITLE 2 **************-->
       <pgc>
         <vob file="C:\dvd\tmp\\dvd-cache\entry002.vob">
           <cell start="10:00" end="" chapter="1"/>
           <cell start="30:00" end="35:00" chapter="1"/>
           <cell start="40:00" end="48:00" chapter="1"/>
           <cell start="50:00" end="" chapter="1"/>
           <cell start="1:00:00" end="1:12:00" chapter="1"/>
         </vob>
         <post>call menu entry root;</post>
       </pgc>
     </titles>

I don't know, if there is any semantics for this in DVDAuthor.
Anyway, DVDAuthor accepts it without warning, but procduces an chaotic 
output.

If one fills in the times:

         <vob file="C:\dvd\tmp\\dvd-cache\entry002.vob">
           <cell start="10:00" end="30:00" chapter="1"/>
           <cell start="30:00" end="35:00" chapter="1"/>
           <cell start="40:00" end="48:00" chapter="1"/>
           <cell start="50:00" end="1:00:00" chapter="1"/>
           <cell start="1:00:00" end="1:12:00" chapter="1"/>
         </vob>

everything is ok.
