That's a DVD burning question more than anything. The file format is quite simple, mpeg3 video or something like that, the crucial bits are: 1) creation of navigation menu files (control and bitmap image files) 2) directory layout on the DVD 3) file names mkisofs will master a video DVD for you, but will neither check nor warn nor enforce the requirements. For music DVD you're totally out of luck, that functionality is missing in mkisofs, from memory no-one has implemented it because the relevant standards are available only at significant cost. Software which does 1-3) above would be interesting to hear about, but I fear Linux is found lacking somewhat. A well-researched talk on this would probably fill at least half an evening by itself.
