Hi,

I am just making a quick script to convert and burn an avi to dvd. I am just using the basic cli tools, but need to create the.xml file.

The script has already changed to the directory i want to be in, and a just need to create a text file with about 10 lines of text in!
I need to make a fike called dvd.xml and it contain the following;

<dvdauthor>
    <vmgm />
    <titleset>
        <titles>
            <pgc>
                <vob file="video.mpg" />
            </pgc>
        </titles>
    </titleset>
</dvdauthor>

thanks
