I found this link:

http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=494&highlight=burn+dvd

Which looks like the script you are refereing too. Good start. But I need
to know where to get the various tools it uses. For example an apt-cache
search fails to turn up any canidates for dvb-mplex, dvdingen, or
growisofs.

Can anyone sugest locations for .debs for these?  I did get dvdauthor
installed.

And thanks for the help on this.
