Excellent work my friend. I would recommend to all interested to also take a good look at this

A word of caution. If you want to use multiple folders with pictures, go ahead and do so. Just remember not to create more than 1 vob at a time cause you might have a error in multiplexing. You will get you vob alright but not your xml
