Looking for an indepth DVD Authoring standards document.

[Dragonsf]

Looking at the description of Scenarist, there seem to be a lot of more otion with DVD Authoring (more the ULEAD MovieFactory or such simple Authoring tools can provide).Are there any documents in existence (and where to get), which describe all the standards, which can be used to author a DVD.I found some vague at doom9 but no real in depth.Any link would be helpful.

What I want is any information, what theoretically can be done with a DVD (i.e where are all these parameters like chapter entry point, navigation keys- targets and such are stored on the DVD and how).
I just read the Scenariest manual a was surprised, what really can be done with a DVD.I wondered, why so many commercial DVDs are so badly authored (like MIB1: you need to do thru 3 layers of menus only to get the the movie being played).

To Dragonsf:
It appears that everyone using scenarist are overwhelmed by the bad documentation. How about us joining forces and exchange ideas and tips on how to do things there?

I'd love to do such thing, but first of all, I have to figure out, why scenarist doesn't accept any of my DVD mpegs (made with tmpgenc).I can drop them from the explorer, but scenarist will die at once.
