If you are on a recent Linux distro, you may first like to replace the broken
mkisofs fork with the real software....
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/
Release 2.01.01a40 is the latest
1) Create a _correct_ DVD video tree using video preparer software
Make sure VIDEO_TS in all upper case....
2) Call mkisofs -o xxx.iso -dvd-video some_dir
some_dir needs to include VDEO_TS
3) write the image using cdrecord -v xxx.iso
