Now use dvdauthor to author a title

        dvdauthor -T -o dvd

Create the ISO file

        mkisofs -dvd-video -o BigBuckBunny.iso dvd/

(Optional) Mount to a loopback for testing

        mkdir mount
        mount -o loop BigBuckBunny.iso mount/

Play the video using VLC or some other tool to check it, then unmount

        umount mount/

Burn to a disc
