What you want to use is Sonic Fusion or any of their high -end DVD authoring system. 
Sonic is by now one of the 2 (or 3?) companies that make really heavy-weigth DVD 
authorig software that allows access to all csriptable features of DVD. The scripting 
of DVD Video is very complex while at the same time not very far reaching. In other 
words, it (almost) needs a degree in computer science to do what loks like a basic 
thing for a lingo programmer. A bit of an overstatemetn, but that's what it looked to 
me when I got into DVD video authoring.

There are DVD Xtras for Director out there but they are of no use to you as Colin 
pointet out, as they allow full access to the 'DVD video' specific files from wihtin a 
director projector so you can build your own DVD player (for example).

Hope that provides another prespective.
