Lawrence,

We so need to compare notes.  I've recently started my own set of
programs [1] to get info off a DVD and scan them for issues, helped
resurrect development of lsdvd [2], and have my own wiki [3] for a
braindump of all the DVD stuff I've encountered over the years.

I'd love to help out with the book.  It's something that could be
really helpful.  I'm also curious to see how development on dvdauthor
is going.

Steve
