I can answer this topic.

dvrtools is "just" burning software. You tell it what data files to burn, and 
it does it's thing.

I think you are assuming "DVD-Video" is a special DVD format. It's not. It's 
just a bunch of files and folders laid out in a precise structure. If the file 
structure is not legal for a DVD-Video player, dvdrtools will not "care"... 
it's being asked to burn data, and that is what it will do.

You use other software to generate the DVD-Video structure. Then burn it with 
dvdrtools. 

Or, in your example, you'd burn your pre-existing DVD directories (AUDIO_TS, 
VIDEO_TS).

Search the list archives for more info. A good Linux DVD ripper is "Drip" (on 
sourceforge.net).
