Also perhaps useful:
For burning something like this should work on the output of dvdbackup:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video /path/to/files
-dvd-video is the mkisofs option for making UDF filesystems in DVD
order. -dvd-compat I believe turns on DAO mode and finalizes the disc
and makes sure the leadout is far enough in and all that stuff.
