Package: mkisofs
Version: 4:2.01+01a01-4
Severity: minor

When using the -dvd-video option with mkisofs (and at the highest verbosity
level), if mkisofs doesn't recognise the proper directory structure, it
will fail with the mysterious error:

   mkisofs: Unable to make a DVD-Video image.

The problem is that there's a directory that mkisofs is expecting to see
that isn't there.  The error message completely obscures this fact.

Presumably, mkisofs is smart enough to know what it needs.  There's probably
a bank of conditionals that tests the various things that need to be tested
in order for the iso to be made.  It appeas that failure of any of them
leads to a generic fail message.

I finally did figure out what's wrong from Google:

http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2005/02/msg00106.html

but mkisofs itself should be telling me this information.
