Will,

I have been trying to retrace the whole process. 
One of the steps I can not figure out is the following:

1. I make a nuv file without commercials

2. I start to make an iso using any of the theme menus (but autoplay)
and it finish saying that multiplex can not open temp.m2v. The whole
directory has full permissions. Looking at temp.m2v is 0 length.
