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
