Title-specific options:
-----------------------
-t | --vts     Create a new titleset on the DVD with the subsequent options and
                mpeg-files.
                -t must be followed by a filename or a string or the
                word "auto" "auto" determines title-string from
                filename of first mpeg-file, if -t is followed by an
                existing filename, that file is considered to be the
                first mpeg in this titleset, else the string is used as
                movie title for this titleset

-c | --chapters Chapter-Specification <0|file|timecodes|interval> [300]
                0 means no chaptering except for different mpeg-files
-b | --vtsmbg  Background-Picture for VTSM-Menu
-ws             Widescreen-Option (nopanscan or noletterbox) for this titleset
-a | --audio   see -A, but only applies to this titleset
-s | --subpic   pass subpicture information to dvdauthor.
                This is a string like "en" for english, "de" for German etc.
                More Languages by Comma Separation, i.e. "-s de,en".

Note: Every new "-t" creates a new titleset on the DVD. Subsequent options -c, -b and -a and mpeg-file(s) apply only to that titleset. To create a DVD with 2 titlesets, use for example:

dvdwizard -t auto -c 300 title1.mpg -t auto -b background.ppm title2.mpg

NB, need to make your multi-audio channel, multi-subtitle channels mpeg/VOB files first before using dvdwizard.

It emphasizes on creating menus and automate .xml file for dvdauthor.
